(Newser) – Do you remember “Officer Bubbles?” Toronto constable Adam Josephs earned the nickname when a YouTube video was posted of him threatening to arrest a girl at the G20 Summit for blowing bubbles. Josephs didn't find the girl's bubble-blowing funny, and he's now suing for... More »

The Constable is an embarrassment to his department. If I was his commanding officer I would fire him for using such poor judgment. Maybe he will get what's coming to him before it's over.

This guy is clearly a jerk who needs some serious anger management help. And now he wants to sue youtube because his crappy, childish BS got shown? Too bad, officer chickencrap. Afraid of a BUBBLE? What a freaking PANSY! Go ahead and sue, but you won't win, and then you can pay off your lawyer AND pay this woman's lawsuit, which I have every reason to believe she WILL. Oh, and I sincerely hope that the cops at the station house are laughing through their teeth at you. You deserve to be made to feel about 6 inches tall. In my mind, that may be about 5 too much.

Pittsburgh G-20 March Proceeds Peacefully

Demonstration free of violence that marked yesterday's protests

(NEWSER) - Protesters again marched in Pittsburgh today while world leaders met at the G-20 summit, but the demonstration has so far been peaceful, in marked contrast to the mayhem that marked yesterday’s rally.
