Could you provide a newspaper article, a video, names, or even an anecdotal evidence that that happened or are you just - unsuccessfully - trying to be funny.

Look to petros for an appreciative audience, but don't give up your day time job to become a comic.


I gather that you have an inability to read what was posted just above my post. It's there in plain english, if you have the ability that you claim. Feel free to read. Any time. It will be there for a while.

How busy could thay possibly have been if they had tinme to stop and talk to the kid? Do their cruisers not have radios and laptops to call dispatch to send a cruiser who is available?

If they they were on a high priority call they would have drove right on by and not stopped at all.

Maybe if it was a white kid.....

Looking at the picture, it WAS white kid.

I like the idea that you flag down the police, and they tell you to call the police.

That is a very likely and justifiable scenario, cop #1 is on his way to deal with a serious matter so he just tells the complainer to call dispatch so they can send out cop#2. :smile:

In response to post #96:

Thanks, petros, I needed that. A bit of humble pie is a very nutritious diet.

Could it be that the police might have had a call to something more important? You know, set by PRIORITY? Like a robbery? Or to a kidnapping? Or to a burglary? Or a theft of a car worth more than $10.79 (?) like the boy's bicycle?

I am totally overwhelmed, almost brought to tears by the power and potency of the article you quoted, supporting your argument.

Or maybe Tims had called to say the doughnut maker was going off shift and doughnuts were running low. :lol:

Will they? They have a lot in common with ****ing immigrants then don't they?

Immigrants are often the race card victims of those who had the dumb luck of being born here, but would not be able to earn citizenship.

You know petros, I do not enjoy this. When I read your post about investing in the education of your daughter, who will soon be a doctor, I had immense respect for you, because I felt a kinship, having gone through similar experience. I don't know what I said or done to earn your ire, but looking back I am confident to say that if I offended you it was simply and purely self-preservation and justified counter-attack.

So, I am offering an olive branch to stop this nonsense. Will you accept?

Why don't you ask those cops what was going-on, it's not like Regina doesn't have the highest incidence of violent crime in Canada and they had nothing better to do.

Hell, maybe the kid should have expected a special unit to descend onto the scene via helicopter to retrieve a bike.

The interesting thing is that the police have taught this kid an important lesson. No doubt, he'll remember it.

CBC asked that same question but got **** all for an answer. It's in the article.

"A spokeswoman for the Regina Police Service refused to answer questions about the incident involving Doleman."

Oh well... What would the police say if someone was getting stabbed or beaten and they were busy with an all points bulletin on a red bike.

I wonder if the CBC would be defending the police's actions in helping little Billy retrieve their bike instead of dealing with the very real and violent crime in Regina.

What real and violent crime was happening at that moment? Surely, the police would have a record of the violent crime taking that they were on their way to deal with, or do they not keep any records?

A lesson that cops aren't there for you help when needed?

Yeah... Or a lesson that little Billy ought to take more care with his belongings and be aware of the risks in his community.

Why don't you look into it unless you prefer to assume that violent crimes are strictly scheduled and published in the local paper a week in advance.
