There was one incident I seen happen here in Toronto that sticks out in my mind:
There was a construction site downtown, although I forget where, exactly, where some cops were standing around observing it all and making sure traffic got through okay. I was walking along the sidewalk, along with a bunch of my fellow pedestrians, minding my own business, sipping my Coca-Cola, when I got up to a traffic light. There was a family in a white car at the head of the line: kid in the back, Mom and Dad up front. Suddenly some schmohawk starts laying on his horn behind them, even though it was a red light, and turned out to drive up alongside them. He starts cursing extremely loudly at the poor woman in the passenger seat and FLICKS his cigarette in their open window. He actually flicked it in their window!
So, I and the rest of the people waiting for the light to change were just staring at this when he squeals his tires and makes a sharp turn to the right as the light changed when somebody up and threw a rock at his car making direct contact. I have no clue who did it, but he or she is my hero.
The guy stopped his souped-up spoiler-sporting car in the middle of the street, jumped out, and starts yelling at the top of his lungs, asking who threw the rock. He was just letting loose. The two cops that were watching the construction site immediately walk over and tell him he had to move his car, he couldn't just park in the centre of the street. So schmohawk starts screaming at them (he must have been on drugs is all I can think of) and they keep calmly telling him to move his car.
That's when schmohawk made his last mistake. He pushed -- this is 100% true -- he PUSHED the cop out of his way. So the other cop just whips out his pepper spray, sprays the fool straight in the eyes, and the other guy grabs him, spins him around, twists his arms in the process, and starts cuffing him. It was great. Schmohawk got served and his car likely got towed.
