This is the type of guy you just want out of your life. Having to see him again in court isn't worth the satisfaction.

The worst I've had is someone screaming at me over 911 about police daring to close the road due to a murder investigation...

Some folks really just have no perspective.

It's so incredibly selfish and and sociopathic he sounds like a character in a comedy show

[tvp2003]

Are we allowed to track him down, shame him mercilessly on social media, and hopefully get him fired from his job?

Because if so, here is his picture:

Spoiler!

Wow, #### that driver.

Her car hit a family of three inside the building — a 33-year-old man, a 30-year-old woman and an eight-month-old infant — who were sitting at a table near the window.

The man has since been upgraded to serious but stable condition, while the woman has suffered life-altering injuries, according to police.

Police said in a release that "excessive speed is considered a factor in the collision."

Looks like the cop is daring him to hit him.

Woah. Getting in anyone's face like that is asking for an elbow to the head, but to do it to a cop? That's guys lucky, that constable showed a lot of restraint

[Scorch]

Here’s the video of him arguing with the cops

[OMG!WTF!]

Angry hockey dad.

[peter12]

Just regular behaviour from a regular motorist.

Nevermind

Let's just all relax a bit and take a moment to reflect a bit. The guy made a massive error in acting like that, a 100% di** move without a doubt. My brother is an officer and deals with stuff like this all the time.

I don't know what exactly set the guy off and we don't have an answer for that and I don't agree with it at all. I would never a pull a move like this but that doesn't mean I have never made a poor judgement error when dealing with another person or a person of authority, any authority I may add. I suspect we all have!

Truthfully I recognize him from a couple of shops in the area that he frequents. I get that people are angry and that in 2019 on the internet everybody want's to railroad everybody into oblivion. Fire him, exploit him, expose him etc. If he had committed a crime or was charged I get it. In this case he went off the deep end on camera in front of a cop but like I said, this happens hundreds if not thousands of times a day. Are all of them suppose to be railroaded too?

It's easy to railroad someone and want them fired etc when it's not YOUR family that might rely on their salary or income. Rather than people relaxing and reflecting on this awful situation, we are losing focus on what happened.

People are all worked up on all the social media platforms and wanting this guy's head on a platter and hoping he get's fired, potentially taking food off his family's table. How many people are concerned for the family involved? They were literally just having a meal and their lives are forever changed by reports of life altering injuries. Probably paralyzed or loss of a limb or limbs.

Maybe we can all learn a lesson and not be just so easily worked up over the small things in life, just like this bozo did. Instead let's relax and enjoy life and be thankful for what we have because you never knew when a car comes crashing into the establishment your enjoying a meal or a coffee at etc.

[peter12]

Oh yeah, the immediate tendency to call for the mob to dox someone based on an out of context video on social media is terrible.

[OMG!WTF!]

I got stuck behind a parade downtown once...veterans parade too..the nerve. I asked the cop if it was a long one and he was super apologetic and was like "Hey man I'm just here cause they told me to be here. I'm as upset as you are". I was like shoot, I'm not upset at all. But I can imagine they get that sort of thing a lot.

On the other token, some cops behave like they own the roads. They flashed their sirens just to run red lights, doing illegal u-turns just because they want to. There were multiple occasions that I have witnessed that the cops stopped speeders in the middle of major roadways like Crowchild and John Laurie. Rather than stop them on the inside left lanes, can't they pull the cars aside to the right at least?

Family was released from hospital I think I just heard on CTV news.

Don't disagree with any of this one bit, but for what it's worth, only one guy suggested doing that in this case, and the way the post is written tells me it's a joke

[81MC]

Balding middle aged man driving a red ‘suv’...guys he’s not a prick. Fried chicken may very well be one of the remaining joys in his life, and he had to disguise his rage that the KFC drive thru would be unavailable.

As for the twat who likes to speed indiscriminately, that kind of behaviour should be prison worthy.

This is all true of course, but let me ask you this: what about the d-bag that was driving the car. Are we allowed to get mad at him if/when his name is released? Or just assume he was just having a bad day?

I have nothing but sympathy for the family that was hurt -- quite seriously apparently -- and thinking brown polo guy is a jerk doesn't change that. I do appreciate you providing some bigger picture perspective though (something that is in too short supply these days).

It was a joke. Mostly. The picture was from the news article that was linked -- I was surprised they posted it due to the (seemingly) inevitable backlash that would result.

It’s inevitable you are going to be a balding (you could luck out with genetics) middle aged man in time. I hope life is better to you than you seem to think it is for all other middle aged men. Yeah the guy is a dick but let’s not paint middle aged people to be pathetic pricks that only have KFC to look forward to.
