Reference the Canadian, he is right, Canadian Cops are well paid.
One incident I am aware of, happened in Brampton, a few miles outside of Toronto. A female Police Officer responding to a disturbance call at a convenience store, was attacked, the fight progressed outside, a small crowd circled the lady cop, who was being viciously beaten by a man, all she was concerned about, apparently, was loosing her duty pistol, as she was hanging on to it, with both hands, in the holster.
A car pulled up, out sprang a short Scottish immigrant, and kicked the assailant so hard in the head, it lifted him off the Cop!
I don't think said Jock has enough money in his bank account, to buy a traffic ticket in Brampton.
Assisting Police, by yours truly, just come out of the Army, year 1956, town Blackpool, north of England. Scottish people also!
A buddy and I were walking down a major street, came across an attack on a young skinny Cop. It took place in the doorway of a Taylors Shop, it was Glasgow Wakes Week, a rowdy Holiday time!
Seems like the Cop was trying to have the 4 drunks leave the doorway, just as we were passing, the Cop's helmet was knocked off. And they set into him, as it was a free fight, we joined in! It was going pretty good for us, we were not drunk!
When two big coppers, not wearing helmets! Had my face in the metal grill, arms up my back!
"No, not the two in sports coats, they were helping me" Said the young cop, with his nose bleeding.
Seems like a squad of roving cops had come across the activity's we had bought into! Piled out of a Police van, 6 or 8 of them?
The 4 combatants were battered! My knuckles were cut up, but the Police boots did more damage than our fists!
Thank goodness the young Copper spoke up!
