VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – A Vancouver firefighter and his son have been charged with assaulting an officer and obstructing police following a weekend confrontation downtown. Parts of the incident were also caught on tape and posted to the popular video website “YouTube”.
Vancouver Police say 44 year old Curtis Mason, and his 20 year son Grant Mason were each charged with 1 count of assaulting a police officer, and 2 counts of willful obstruction of police. Vancouver Fire Captain Rob Jones Cook confirms a 13 year member of the department has been charged.
Police say the incident started when 3 officers were called to investigate a single car crash at Seymour and Robson. Constable Howard Chow says two occupants of the car were extremely confrontational with the officers. One man identified himself as an off-duty fireman. Chow says a major fight broke out between the 3 officers and 2 men, before they were finally subdued and arrested. The female driver of the car received a 24-hour license suspension for having alcohol in her system. Meanwhile, two police cruisers heading to the scene for back-up ended up crashing into each other a few blocks away.
The YouTube video clip shows police officers struggling on the ground with two men. Firefighters in full gear stand around them, and at one point, another officer runs over and appears to hit someone with a baton a couple of times. Chow confirms the YouTube video is of the Vancouver incident.

Moosh’s wet food, that she’s not liking anymore anyway, is on the list on the Menu Foods recall site. I’m sure Moosh is fine, but just in case she’ll be sticking to the dry food for a bit. It’s sad that people have lost their pets over this.

I guess she was just dying for an upgrade. I’m here all week. Try the veal.
Instead of slugging the guy why didn’t he just step out of the way? What a puss. I smell another suspension. Simon went out for the year for his stick hit on Hollweg, how much you wanna bet that’s what happens here too.

The Hubble Deep Field: The Most Important Image Ever Taken
In 2003, the Hubble Space Telescope took the image of a millenium, an image that shows our place in the universe. Anyone who understands what this image represents, is forever changed by it.

That was amazing. What a beautiful use of some Pink Floyd’s Shine on You Crazy Diamond.
