Police In Canada Arrested A Stormtrooper On Star Wars Day Because She Was Carrying A Plastic Blaster

Justin Trudeau just announced the banning of “assault-style fireams” in Canada a few days ago. Who knew that included Imperial blasters.

As some of you may be aware, yesterday was Star Wars Day. It’s not an official holiday but it’s an annual day for fans of the movies to deploy a well known play on words, “May the 4th be with you.” That phrase has been around for at least 41 years. So long before people were saying “it’s a thing,” Star Wars Day was a thing.

Anyway, yesterday a little restaurant in Alberta, Canada called the Coco Vanilla Galactic Cantina decided to do a little Star Wars-style promotion on Star Wars Day by having one of the employees walk around the parking lot dressed as a stormtrooper. This was basically just a nerdy version of those sign-flippers you see on the sidewalk sometimes. At least that’s all it should have been, but it all went horribly wrong.

They probably would have shot him if he used his fingers and hand in a gun gesture.

In a sane world this would be outrageous satire.

They always remind me of a gang of 3 stooges. ...spaceballs. ...now on the other hand, those women that had those laser guns strapped to their ta-tas. ...oh wait, that’s a different movie. ...

The Left has so engrained hoplophobia in the minds of the masses that events like this are certain to occur.

Wow. I thought Australilan cops were insane for taking down a person with a 1/3 scale plastic toy.

After the video below was released, the local police chief said there would be an investigation of the officers’ behavior.

Oh BS. The cops will cover-up this gross level of stupidity mixed with violence. G'damn thugs. We know who the real stormtroopers are.

Having watched the video, I have to wonder if the female cop isn’t the one who caused the freak out. She’s the one really hyper-screaming in the early stages of the take down.

But no one with any sense involved from the PD side, in any case.

The RCMP once again, not accountable to anyone, acts like Storm troopers.

Perhaps...hated Kids in the Hall because they seemed obsessed with cross dressing.
