I can think of a couple of instances, where I may have felt, that peeing on a bylaw vehicle was justified. [icon_lol2.gif]

It made the news because the guy was combative.

- except the headline wasn’t about fear, bleeding or violence - it was about urinating on a bylaw van.

No kidding.
According to the time stamp on the video:

3:26 - suspect on roof
3:58 - suspect in kitchen
4:14 - suspect in bar smashing till (owner indicates alarm going off at this time would be very loud)
4:17 - suspect at rear door
4:19 - suspect and accomplices get in van
Police said to arrive “a few minutes later”

That’s some seriously terrible security and response time.
