Guess The Cop Stop, Win A Cheap Prize
A very respected official in the municipal sphere called me to tell of their experience on St. Joseph Boulevard recently.
The person was passed on St. Joseph by a Ottawa Police Service car at very high speed with no warning lights on.
OPP Deems Man’s Death Response ‘Not Serious’
The person saw that the police car had stopped at a business so the driver pulled in and approached the officer. The driver asked to speak to the officer’s supervisor and officer refused to contact that person. “File a complaint,” he told the driver.
So why was the OPS car travelling at high speed with no warning lights on? The officer maintained he was going to a call and then was taken off the incident when he was travelling. But why the high speed and no flashers?
Get A Grip, Chief. Your OPS Stinks: WHOPPER WATCH
Now where did the officer stop in such a rush?
I’ll leave it up to readers. The comment box is below. First person to correctly guess the destination of the high-speed OPS officer wins a much-coveted free subscription to The Bulldog.
Alright, if that’s not enough, instead bask in the glory of your intelligent answer. We’re on a tight budget here at Bulldog World Headquarters.
Good luck.

This is a tough one!
I do know of a Timmy’s but that seems like a too-easy answer. The other place that springs to mind is St Joseph’s Church – there might have been things he or she wanted to get off his or her conscience. I realize that’s going out on a bit of a limb by assuming the officer was self-aware enough to recognize anything within themself that might need the services of a priest.
If I win, does the prize subscription get added onto the end of my existing one or will it run concurrently?
Where else but Timmy’s?
The Voter:
You were right the first time but the judges have ruled that you opted for St. Joseph’s Church.
Should have gone with your instincts.
So I’m sorry I can’t extend your subscription but we’re still damn happy you contribute to The Bulldog.
Have a good weekend.

The winner is Merrill Smith.
The Voter got in here faster but she waffled on the answer.
Your boldness wins you this valuable prize.
Thank you for participating.
cheers

I’m not sure where the OPS officer stopped but after reading the local news this morning he should have sped to the market to help in the arrest of last nights shooting.
Well, that’ll teach me A) not to look for the non-obvious answer and B) not to listen when I try to favour my kinder, gentler side instead of my baser instincts.
I was trying to envision a scenario where the officer wouldn’t do the expected Timmy’s stop but might have enough of a conscience left that they would head to the church to unload whatever burdens they were carrying with them. They would then emerge a better person and that would be reflected in their police work.
So now I know – stick with the stereotype and don’t give credit for nobler possibilities! If you need me, I’ll be up the street at Timmy’s drowning my sorrows. ;-)
I needed a chuckle today – thanks.
The Voter:
I’ll be in a pub drowning mine.
It’s nice you looked on the better side people.
Sometimes that better side is hard to find … such as in this instance.
cheers

Voter, when you see hooves think horses not zebras. Advice from a doctor in the family.
Welcome back, Mr. Benn.
Many eons ago I served on a jury trying a pair of not too bright guys who robbed a convenience store. They were arrested in short order by a pair of cops who were at a nearby donut shop. So when in doubt go with the donut shop.
Ken, in the unlikely event that those bandits are among your readers, could you please remove the specific location of the convenience store?
Thanks, Ron – I’ll bear that in mind for the future!
