Toronto's 'Officer Bubbles' gains web notoriety
Arrest threat video goes viral, spawns Queen's Park protest

Published On Fri Jul 16 2010

Wendy Gillis Staff Reporter

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.

“You touch me with that bubble you're going into custody,” he tells her in a video entitled “Booked for Bubbles” that was shot June 27 near Queen St. W. and Dufferin St.

2. Amazing.

What a bullying sob. Glad the name "Bubbles" is sticking. Bubbles is a hilarious character on a CBC show "Trailer Park Boys"

6. This would make a great flash mob event
Everyone show up chanting "we want Bubbles", and just as quickly disperse. That would freak the cops out.

15. Bubbles may have a point. Blowing bubbles into someone's face is disrespect
as much as blowing cigar smoke, or spitting.

What a total ass.

Edited to add-

Found this in the replies on the cartoon-

Constable Adam Josephs works at 52 Division of the Toronto Police Services: If you would like to make a complaint regarding Officer Josephs conduct you can give Officer Moffatt a call.
Community Relations Officer:
Constable Michael Moffatt, (416) 808-5291
Nice going Officer Josephs, you are a real hero and a true testament to the sorry state of law enforcement here in Canada, and a fine example of the kind of policing peaceful people had to endure during the G20 farce.
