Flat tire at Union and de Maisonneuve
I was biking home the other day and stopped to take a picture of an empty BIXI station when I heard a pop coming from a few feet away. A police car had turned the corner onto de Maisonneuve Blvd. and its rear wheel went up on the curb.
Well, kinda. The pop was followed by a loud pulsating hissing sound as the car kept driving, and within seconds the tire was a write-off.
The two officers in the car were good-natured about their predicament (probably because it happened while they were on the clock and on patrol), joking with a passer-by.
Need some help with that?
They also got some good-natured ribbing from a couple of fellow officers who passed by on foot patrol.
Keep up the good work
The four officers quickly assembled the standard civil service work crew formation: One person working, and three supervising.
LOL thanks, you got first laughs today!
Did they happen to notice the guy standing behind them with a camera, firing away?
Probably. I was at a distance, though.
Sure is funny. But then again I don’t see how more than one persone could change a tire. Well, I guess someone could help hold the spare tire straight in place, it would make the bolt in a little bit easier.
Montreal’s Finest indeed…
