West Vancouver Police dog captures suspect:

By James Weldon, North Shore News December 15, 2010

At about 3: 30 am on December 6^th, a Vancouver man passed a “WVPD patrol car in the 1600-block of

Marine Drive

” and as the license plate was unattached, the police commanded the man to stop through emergency lights; however, the driver ignored the command. A while later, the police dog spotted the driver and started to chase him until the man got out of the car and started running away. When the officer ordered the men to the ground, one of them kept running who was later forced to the ground by the police canine. The man was shortly charged with “breach of probation, possession of stolen property and flight from police”.

Having read this article, I am quite surprised of the way some people act; for instance, I would never expect to witness what happened in this article in real world, as it seems like what happens in the movies. In fact, this article proves the fact that some people tend to be quite inconsiderate and ignorant of the others as they steal the others’ property and even ignore the police command. In fact, having the ability to steal from someone is not held by everyone; it is not easy for everyone to use someone else’s belongings and not give it back to them.

Moreover, having read this local article also makes me more aware of what is going on in my surroundings; this article reminds me again that just because we live in North America, does not necessarily mean that we are always safe. In fact, we always have to be cautious of our surroundings and do not assume that we live in a safe place.
