To Serve and Protect | Knife Attack | Reality Cop Drama

March 09, 2023 / 46:15

This episode covers police interactions in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, focusing on issues like drug use, public intoxication, and violent incidents. Officers Kevin McLaren and his partner patrol the Main and Hastings area, dealing with various situations involving intoxicated individuals and drug-related crimes.

During their patrol, the officers encounter several individuals under the influence of alcohol and drugs. They assist a man who is too drunk to stand and take him to detox to prevent harm. They also arrest a woman named Leslie for possession of marijuana after finding her in a bar's bathroom with drug paraphernalia.

The episode highlights an assault case where a man named Mickey is arrested for causing bodily harm after a fight involving a two-by-four. Witnesses provide conflicting accounts of the incident, complicating the investigation.

Another segment features officers responding to a report of a man with a broken neck, which turns out to be less severe than initially thought. They also deal with a domestic disturbance involving a man threatening his partner with a knife.

Throughout the episode, the officers reflect on their experiences and the challenges of policing in this area, including the frequent encounters with the same individuals and the cycle of drug use and crime.

TL;DR

Vancouver police deal with drug use, assaults, and public intoxication in the Downtown Eastside.

00:07:07
Leslie are you gonna call your lawyer
00:07:11
excellent excellent
00:07:14
to put a cigarette butt on the ground
00:07:16
like they wanted to save it so I looked
00:07:18
under the the door to the cubicle and uh
00:07:22
I saw a bottle of water and a clear
00:07:24
plastic bottle sitting on the ground a
00:07:26
small bottle typical of what drug users
00:07:28
carry with them to mix a fix
00:07:31
I looked through the crack in the door
00:07:33
and I saw the person that was sitting on
00:07:36
the toilet was holding a hypodermic
00:07:38
needle in their right hand so if uh
00:07:42
they're in there for a legitimate
00:07:44
purpose of going to the washroom they
00:07:46
wouldn't be holding the hyper nerve
00:07:47
needle in their hand so that'd give us
00:07:48
the grounds to uh
00:07:50
open the door and search for drugs
00:07:53
inside there liquor control and
00:07:55
Licensing act allows the police to
00:07:59
search the women's and men's washrooms
00:08:01
and license premises and basically for
00:08:04
any type of people that are passed out
00:08:07
in the wash
00:08:09
or any type of drug use in the washrooms
00:08:12
and the license premise
00:08:19
right now we've attended an assault call
00:08:22
on view from the surgeon it's a female
00:08:25
suffering a head wound she'd been struck
00:08:27
in the head with a board or something
00:08:29
like that right now we're going up to 55

00:20:14
that gentleman was arrested for causing
00:20:17
our salt causing bodily harm as you can
00:20:20
well see the confusion we go to a place
00:20:22
like this it's infested with cockroaches
00:20:24
and bugs
00:20:26
I was speaking with that one fella in
00:20:28
the room before I even knew he was a
00:20:30
suspect it turns out that he was a
00:20:31
suspect and was arrested for the assault
00:20:34
he's gone to jail as I've said then
00:20:36
Constable cope has gone up to Saint
00:20:37
Paul's to interview our victims that
00:20:39
charges will be processed
00:20:41
it's uh interesting down here about how
00:20:45
you can be dealing with one thing and
00:20:47
another thing will interrupt itself
00:20:48
a good case in point would be that other
00:20:50
gentleman that was placed in the wagon
00:20:53
who uh unfortunately lost his trousers
00:20:56
before he got in however he'll spend a
00:20:59
couple hours at detox and be back at it
00:21:02
probably within uh three or four hours

00:25:24
regarding drug related charges

00:25:30
obviously doesn't like us too much
00:25:32
uh we're able to arrest him on this
00:25:35
because of the familiarity we have with
00:25:37
them and the cpic entries uh stating
00:25:40
that the curfew in effect also been
00:25:43
advised by radio that there's several

of money
00:27:18
okay my partner had observed
00:27:21
the two parties against the wall here
00:27:24
and there was an exchange between the
00:27:26
two of them we were across the street by
00:27:29
the time we made it across the street we
00:27:31
were made they'd seen us we started to
00:27:33
walk away a fellow that I had fell in
00:27:36
the brown jacket
00:27:37
as soon as I came towards them
00:27:40
a whatever he had in his hand he stuck
00:27:42
in his mouth and he swallowed it so I
00:27:46
missed an opportunity to find out
00:27:48
whatever it was
00:27:49
you want to go over and see what this
00:27:51
call is
00:27:52
we got a
00:27:54
report that somebody has got a broken
00:27:56
neck so at this point it's a casualty
00:27:59
report try to beat me up well yeah
00:28:02
why are you chasing them
00:28:05
[Music]
00:28:06
all right
00:28:08
who else saw Dave who else saw
00:28:12
who else saw the fight
00:28:17
the bouncer threw that guy out of the
00:28:19
bar when we were coming in the place
00:28:21
[Music]
00:28:29
said to him he said take it easy on him
00:28:31
he's an older guy walked by he was
00:28:33
bringing them out okay thanks a lot
00:28:37
it appears what happened
00:28:39
was he was escorted out of the bar and
00:28:43
fell we've got conflicting savings from
00:28:46
a few people have come forward
00:28:48
nobody actually witnessed what might
00:28:51
have happened
00:28:53
but again it's a good possibility that
00:28:55
he was put outside and then fell down at
00:28:57
the corner here
00:28:59
this call came in as a man with a broken
00:29:01
neck it's part of the I guess it has
00:29:04
hysteria of Dallas kids it's uh what it
00:29:08
is is a casualty
00:29:10
it's most likely nothing more than a few
00:29:13
bumps and bruises and a scrape he'll be
00:29:16
taken to the hospital for observation
00:29:18
and then most likely release to go home
00:29:20
we're going to an incomplete phone call
00:29:22
we don't know exactly what's going on
00:29:24
basically just a lady called in to say
00:29:26
that uh she's having some problems in
00:29:28
her room so
00:29:29
we'll try to figure it out when we get
00:29:30
here
00:29:31
yeah please do you have the key
00:29:33

00:29:36

00:30:04
hands up with everything
00:30:06

00:30:35
fire escaped he came he smashed the
00:30:38
window came in and we were going down
00:30:39
something else smashed and we could hear
00:30:41
this before we even got down the stairs
00:30:43
okay did he have a knife now no the
00:30:45
police
00:30:46
okay he doesn't have another knife right
00:30:49
now
00:30:49

00:30:57
where's his wife she's right in there
00:31:00

00:31:06
there was a similar call yesterday
00:31:07
actually exact same he came in with a
00:31:09
knife and was uh threatening the lady
00:31:11
with the knife
00:31:12
sounds like it's their common law so
00:31:14
we're back again he apparently got out
00:31:15
of jail and came right back to his uh to
00:31:18
his place and now we have to deal with
00:31:19
this all over again
00:31:23
assault mischief
00:31:34
says you go upstairs do not open the
00:31:37
door and walk in that room because he
00:31:38
took a knife after my roommate I'm gonna
00:31:40
walk downstairs with the guy wait for a
00:31:42

00:31:54
what it looks like I actually if you
00:31:55
came out to fire escape climbed through
00:31:56
a window
00:31:57
there was a similar thing yesterday he's
00:32:00
probably now got a restraining order
00:32:01
because he went to jail yesterday for
00:32:03
threatening with a knife so he probably
00:32:04
shouldn't be here well to check on that
00:32:06
on our computer
00:32:07
so that he doesn't have a knife this
00:32:08
time we took it away yesterday from him
00:32:10
but uh we're back to the same drawing
00:32:12
board so we'll take him back to jail and
00:32:14
we'll start all over again it's
00:32:15
unfortunate the statement say yesterday
00:32:17
he threatened his uh calm a lot and now
00:32:19
he's back again doing the exact same
00:32:21
thing less than 24 hours so
00:32:24

00:32:25
goes to jail
