Toronto's 'Officer Bubbles' gains web notoriety
He's now known as “Officer Bubbles.”

Const. Adam Josephs has gained considerable notoriety after being caught on tape threatening to arrest a G20 protester for blowing bubbles.

In a viral Internet video, the 52 Division officer tells protester Courtney Winkels she will be arrested for assault because she is blowing bubbles in front of officers.

The video — shown on the website therealnews.com and this week on American network Fox News — shows Winkels, orange bubble wand in hand, interacting with Josephs and a female officer.

Not only the RCMP that have an inflated ego. They don't realise they are there at our pleasure. Just have a look at the video.

2. "For a billion dollars, I could've got someone with a better attitude."
Why didn't the hypersensitive cop charge the man who uttered those words with assault?

3. Here's the screencap of his Facebook page
He thinks he's a garbage collector, not a cop.

5. A perfect example of someone with authority gone amok...
Bubbles are now assault weapons, who knew.
