We have seen police charge everything from flatulence to a hug to a pillow attack as assault. However, this Toronto officer tells a young woman that if one of her bubbles touches his uniform, he will arrest her for assault. She is later shown being arrested.
What is most striking is that there is no report of this officer being suspended for such adolescent and unprofessional conduct. Toronto police appear to agree that bubble assault is a valid charge.
We have seen a man arrested for blowing a bubble in court but not as an act of assault.
While patting yourself on the back you have provided nothing more than a distraction thrown up to mask failed reason! It is buffoonery to suggest that there is “scientific reason” for no danger of disease or contamination from the bubbles when anyone including the officer would simply want to avoid the risk. Your logical fallacy of attacking others rather than the argument is typical of those debating on the Left
Well you certainly aren’t.
By the way, most cops these days receive training on how to deal with bodily fluids which usually covers the transmission vectors for things like flu and HIV and TB, so you don’t get to take home any consolation prizes.
Thanks for playing!
I suggest a brain upgrade before trying again. This is a very smart blog filled with people smarter than me. I just happen to sport fangs. So run along now, ‘lil Russell. Before your obviously fragile ego and subservient nature are bruised again.
Maybe the officer just wasn’t as “brilliant” as you about spit-physics, HIV, TB and H1N1 transmission
Please. Display some more ignorance about medical science, Russell. Yell some more.
“why would anyone want to take the word of a self appointed buffoon like you”
Because if they looked into it they’d find out I’m factually scientifically correct. Because I both read and understand the words. Unlike you, Russell Noid.
Paranoid much?
No one scientifically analyzes if they are going to get aids or TB or H1N1 if someone wants to spit, sneeze or blow unknown substance into their face. They just wouldn’t want the other person to do it. So, in the age of Aids, why would anyone want to take the word of a self appointed buffoon like you, who thinks he has the answers, when their health is at risk? Most people just wouldn’t want the exposure to the risk. Including the officer!
Factual ignorance is a charming trait, Russell. Were you repeatedly dropped on your head as a baby?
AIDS – First of all, AIDS is a complex of diseases one gets from having an HIV infection. No one gets “AIDS” in the manner you suggest. HIV is a viral blood borne and venereal fluid transmitted disease. You can’t get HIV from drinking after someone with either and HIV infection or AIDS – UNLESS THERE IS BLOOD IN IT. Again, showing you are completely ignorant. Blood in any sufficient quantity to pose a risk would screw up the bubble solutions viscosity and ergo its surface tension in addition to requiring that the idiot officer either eat the bubbles or catch them with his eyes and even that wouldn’t guarantee infection. She’d have done better if that was her plan to stick him with a dirty needle.
TB – An aerosol transmitted bacteria, she could have simply sneezed and infected everyone within 15 feet of her. No bubbles required.
You’re a real genius. And by genius, I don’t really mean genius, genius.

We won’t have the pleasure of running into Chicago Police Officer Thor Soderberg. He was slain on the job, last week.
“I want people to know that he’s a great man and gave the Chicago police a great name,” said Mazen Istanbouli, a DePaul University professor and close friend of the officer. “He was a giver. He never thought of himself and always thought of others.”
Istanbouli, who is blind, said he and Soderberg had known each other for about three years and met because they shared a love of running. He said the officer helped him train and competed by his side in triathlons in New York and Chicago, running, biking and swimming alongside him and serving as his guide.

In Chicago, all of the cops with whom I’ve come into contact act like Nazis. — Beth Hunter
That’s an insightful statement. Were you impaired due to self medicating libation sessions during these conversations?
What kind of diseases can be spread from badge licking?
Unless the cop dies of Aids or TB!
See? Mission accomplished and nothing had to die expect one stupid cop’s ego.
This was much better than a kick in the shin! Her civil disobedience was brilliant! She got on TV, made the cop look like a jerk, and got her badge of honor by riding in the paddy-wagon with the cuffs!
“affects change without using the French Revolution method.”
A little speedy on the “submit” button there.
A peaceful way to agitate. Peaceful agitation and demonstration are how one affects change with using the French Revolution method. See, there were these two guys, Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.? Perhaps you should read up on civil disobedience as a tactic for influencing political change. She could have just skipped to the chase and shot him or kicked him in the groin. That’s considerably more agitating than bubbles.
That protestor knew that if she spit in this face, or sneezed in his face purposefully that they would carry her away. So maybe she could blow bubbles in his face and get away with it? Just another way to agitate!
Then I hope you’re not allowed to carry a gun, badge or given the power of arrest.
I wouldn’t let some agitator/protestor blow bubbles on me if I didn’t know for sure what was in the bottle. Notwithstanding your explanation of spit-physics!
Again, you know nothing about blowing bubbles. Using a wand, she would inevitably be getting some on her. I covered the spit angle and last time I checked, there are no urine borne diseases. Don’t get mad because your argument sucked. Or do get mad. See if I care.
She is not placing it in her mouth; she is blowing on it like any 4 year old knows how to do! She could urinate in it, spit in it, or accidentally infect it with her own viruses. Things you should know if you had any common sense.
