Trouble in Watson this morning

Well at least it’s good to finally see a thread where the police get a mention and nobody makes a gratuitous link to a donuts!

Ergot poisoning from the rye toast at Carlos?

Maybe he was in hiding waiting to ambush and mug someone coming out of Watson Take Away? That place has pretty sweet pizza and burgers, just like the old days when you were a kid and never thought about obesity and your cholesterol level.

Yum…

But you do see why the officer had to do this…

The man was in custody and therefore the police were responsible for him. If he had tripped over his shoelace and broken his nose they would have been liable from what I believe.

What are you on about? You must be mad

Well for me at least, it is so rare that I see a police car anywhere I found it surprising!

You obviously haven’t been anywhere near Subway in the Canberra Arcade Bldg around lunch and dinner time.

Don’y get me wrong, I love freaks. If you knew some of the men I have been out with, you would see that is the case. :O)

Isn’t Samaritan House right there at Watson shops? Sam House often ends up being the default backstop for the Psych Unit when Canb Hosp reckon people aren’t mentally ill/suicidal ‘enough’ to warrant a bed.

Poor man was probably going to try and do himself in.

Sorry scootergal, but everyime people put negative-information stories (as in the original poster isn’t giving any information away, just wanting to be informed on a specific topic) on RiotACT we get this way. For example, when people ask about the white vans next to the road, or the like.

In answer to your original question:
Maybe, but not me.

Freaks

Ah, VG! How I have missed your insightful comments!

Well for me at least, it is so rare that I see a police car anywhere I found it surprising!

I hope I can help, having some knowledge of the training required. He/she receives significant training in shoe lace tying so as, when bending, their buttocks are pointed in the least possibly offensive direction so as not to offend delicate sensibilities such as yours.

If you do feel offended I was consider either a complaint to the Federal Minister for Justice or ritual self-flagellation.

Best regards and I hope I was of some assistance

I saw a policemen tying his shoes. Does anyone know how much training he recieves to do this and whether I can ask him to do it elsewhere because it offends my sensibilities?

Today I saw a Police car parked on the side of the road. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

Just a typical day in North Canberra.

The man was apprehended without incident; he had been brandishing the knife whilst kneeling opposite the school.
