TWO DIFFERENT THREADS OF MEMORY JOIN AND A TAPESTRY BEGINS TO TAKE SHAPE
THE OAK BAY POLICE SURROUNDED ME IN MY CAR AT GONZALES BAY IN 2000.
I HAD DRIVEN FROM THE BOTTOM TO ALMOST THE TOP ON THE LEFT SIDE.
THEY HAD GUNS DRAWN IN RESPONSE TO A CANARD CREATED BY SOOKE RCMP.
I had on several occasions said that I trusted the Oak Bay Police and felt safe from Police excess when I rollerbladed there and in the neighborhoods close by not far from my Howe St Victoria residence. I had plunged down a hill in Oak Bay, picking up too much speed as I approached an open parking area. I turned in to be able to swing back uphill and lose speed when I realized it was a Police and Fire department compound. I circled widely and as I saw a police man I said.
" I knew I was safe to turn in here as the Oak Bay Police would not shoot me."
DID SOOKE RCMP HEAR I TRUSTED THE OAK BAY POLICE AND SET UP THE ARMED, SURROUNDED STOP?
NO ONE HAD SEEN A CAR LIKE THE CAT I WAS DRIVING.
"THIS IS THE FANCIEST CAR I HAVE EVER SEEN" said an OAK BAY POLICEMAN. Then " SOOKE RCMP SAID THEY MADE A MISTAKE". Yeah, sure, a mistake. No, trustbreaking.
