I am sad to report that I may have lost a good friend because of my Bubbles post. Took exactly 1/2 hour before a friend called concerned where I may have gotten my anti-police stance. To be more then fair they asked me to explain my position, any incidence that may have coloured my feelings and proceeded to explain how anyone who disobeys an officer or taunts an officer in that manner deserves what ever they get.
I thought the young lady was being Gandhiesque, they thought she was just being a bitch and deserved what she got.
I completely understand their position, police do a hard job making people feel protected and they want those officers to be honoured for their sacrifices. I just happen to think that there is nothing on the books that says you can't blow bubbles in the presence of police officers and also there is no law that says you get arrested for being irritating.
None of my usual sarcasm at play here, I regret that this is something that gets me stricken from the friends list and not just one of those agree to disagree things.
Sometimes opinions spoken/blogged suck for all manner of reasons.

I think if you will check it out you will find that the Officer Bubbles (name well deserved)
incident was not when she was arrested. The arrest happened later in the day. As far as I know Officer Bubbles was not the arresting officer for whatever it was she was alleged to have done.
Yes you are correct Bob according to the Red Star:
She was arrested later for an incident unrelated to the bubbles, and has been charged with conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.
I would like to know what that means....
If you review the tape of her arrest, Officer Bubbles is not five feet away from her escorting another young lady to the wall.
