Oak Bay police officer bruised, scratched in arrest of party-goer

 

A report of a loud party at McNeill Bay Saturday night turned into a nasty experience for an Oak Bay police officer as some of the revellers began shouting “Fu** the blue.”

 

The officer ended up bruised and scratched after trying to arrest the most persistent youth, who was about 230 pounds, police said. An arrest was made, but the officer decided to give him a ticket and turn him over to his mother.....

Should have sent in a social worker. Imagine this poor woman's trauma after spending an hour evading the police.

Or at the very least a safe injection.

Victoria police conduct is being reviewed after a man was taken into custody on Pandora Avenue.

 

According to the Victoria Police Department, officers were on duty in the 1000-block of Pandora Avenue when they saw a man throw a garbage can into moving traffic, and then throw a second garbage can onto a sidewalk with pedestrians on it.

 

The man was also reportedly screaming and walking into moving traffic.

 

 

“The officers went into traffic and arrested the man for mischief and placed him in handcuffs,” said VicPD public affairs officer Cam MacIntyre. “The man was uncooperative while under escort but was ultimately moved to a police vehicle and transported to cells at VicPD.”

When the officer asked the youth if he had been disrespectful to him at all, he looked down and didn’t say anything, police said.

 

The officer felt the need to call for urgent backup since his colleagues were already on a call at Willows Beach. It was the first time he had to do so in 24 years of service.

 

Victoria and Saanich police also responded.

 

The incident began when the officer approached the small group of teenage party-goers — several of whom were drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana — and told them the festivities were over. While most of them left, a few started in yelling.

 

Police said abusive language directed toward them has become more common of late.

Of course they are getting more abuse. When you have leaders (and I use the term ironically) such as Ben and Jerry fanning the flames and then running and hiding when asked about it, of course this will happen. If only there had been some way to foresee that electing a performance poet to council might not be the best choice...

Victoria police conduct is being reviewed after a man was taken into custody on Pandora Avenue.

 

 

I think the conduct is being reviewed because this is just a petty crime and council has directed police not to enforce those!

[Victoria Watcher]

it must be something extraordinary if the complaints commission has been notified yet the suspect sustained no injuries. it’s very curious.

Yikes, a "youth" of 230 pounds? I feel sorry for the police officer.

Makes sense. If you're the "right kind of person", normal laws and societal rules don't apply. Maybe the police should carry Mayor's Awards with them and hand them out to anyone who commits assault, theft, etc.?
