A 49-year-old man is facing several charges, including the dangerous operation of a vehicle, after revving his car’s engine outside Winnipeg police headquarters.
According to a news release, the incident happened around 1:10 a.m. Saturday morning. Police said a “suspicious” Chrysler 300 was on Garry Street, when the driver started revving the engine “obnoxiously.”
When officers approached the car, it quickly drove off. Police said the driver was operating the vehicle erratically; running red lights, weaving through traffic, and hitting speeds around 90 km/h in the downtown core.
Multiple police units, including the Tactical Support Team and the Canine Unit helped stop the vehicle near St. Michael Road and Pulberry Street.

You’d think so but major civil suits I paid by the taxpayer instead of financially affecting the officer involved. That should change.
I TOTALLY agree.
I think everyone is here thinking I’m pro asshole, I’m just super anti-cop and the problematic systems that enable them.
I am super anti-asshole, but I’m not ready to trade systemic anti-asshole structures that would further enable abusive policing.
