A Canadian Cop Shows the World How to Handle Road Rage
Christian Science Monitor ^ | JULY 14, 2015 | Denise Hassanzade Ajiri

A Canadian police officer was giving an interview to a TV station when an instance of road rage occurred. This is how he reacted.

“Both of you, grow up!… Come on boys!... everybody's a winner, don’t worry!”

This is not a school principal trying to instruct arguing pupils. This is a Canadian police officer dealing with road rage.

Police Officer Graham Williamson was giving an interview on camera to CBC News about a fatal recent collision in Toronto when a road rage incident broke out on the road beneath him.

Recommended: Do you belong on the road? Take our driver's test. The camera captures the two drivers standing beside their cars quarreling with each other as Officer Williamson whistles and yells to intervene.

“Now is the time,” yells Williamson. “Hey! Get back in the car.”

The road rage outbreak ends with no physical encounter, and eventually both drivers get back in their cars and drive away.

The video has been posted on CBC News Youtube channel on July 6 and since then has been viewed over 1.4 million times with hundreds of humorous comments.

Hey Cop!

Why the hell don’t you do your stupid interview on some side road rather than an overpass where the presence of media truck will always cause a gawker traffic jam... How about that?!

Wish I hadn’t clicked on that and given some juice to CBS. It was not worth it.

Not every cop in Canada can be Benton Fraser.

CBS learned a lesson on Due South when it cancelled it the first time. I didn't get the uproar since I didn't watch it. It took TNT reruns years later to make me appreciate it and see why.

Not much of a road rage,especially when compared to some of the Russian videos.I saw one where a guy pulled out an AK47.

Don’t be so quick to label all canucks as pussies. Although I’m Albertan, I still live in Canada. I can assure you as can many others that I am no pussy, and I know many others who aren’t as well.

As for the CBC (communist broadcasting corporation) or Toronto police (commies) I don’t care what you call them.

I noticed that after.

I find it harder and harder to laugh when we’ve lost so much ground over such a short time recently. I shall endeavour to not let my sense of humour become a casualty of war.

Yes, it’s better to just avoid all the small talk and get straight to business. It’s one think to kill you but wasting your time is not right.

Yeah, we are. If you were a Canuck, it is far more within the realm of probability that you would be one of the assholes and not the cop. Just saying eh.:-).

Okay, redirect me to post 6 staying it was a joke. Missed it before I replied. No offense intended by my post :-). Feeling a little on edge this evening as I haven’t had my beer yet. Good day.
