Subject: ‘Officer Bubbles’ sues YouTube and users over cartoons

‘Officer Bubbles’ sues YouTube and users over cartoons

A Toronto police constable whose scolding of a G20 protester for blowing
bubbles went viral on YouTube has launched a $1.2 million defamation
lawsuit against the website and 25 of its users.
The lawsuit by Adam Josephs, infamously known as “Officer Bubbles,”
isn’t targeting the original video but a collection of eight cartoons
posted to the popular video website that show a policeman resembling
Josephs who engages in abusive acts of power.
The cartoons depict an officer named “A. Josephs” arresting a variety of
people — from a doctor to Santa Claus to U.S. President Barack Obama —
as well as punching a news photographer.
In his statement of claim, Josephs calls the cartoons and several
comments “devastatingly defamatory,” alleging they have brought him
“ridicule, scandal and contempt both personally and as a member of the
(Toronto Police Service).”
He claims the animations have also resulted in threats against him and
his family.
The lawsuit aims to compel YouTube to reveal the identities of the
person who created and posted the videos — who has to username
ThePMOCanada — as well as the identities of 24 other users who made
allegedly defamatory remarks.
The cartoons have since vanished from the site and about half of the 25
users being sued have deleted their accounts.
Earlier this month, several of them received notices from Google, the
owner of YouTube, asking whether they wanted the website to release
their identities.
The original video of Const. Josephs became a symbol for what many
viewed as the police’s heavy-handed response to protests during the
summit, prompting a mass protest outside Queen’s Park where
demonstrators blew bubbles.
In the video, the 52 Division officer holds a police line near Queen St.
W. as a young woman blows bubbles.
“You touch me with that bubble you're going into custody,” he tells the
woman.
“You want to bait the police. You get that on me or that other officer
and it gets in her eyes, it's a detergent. You'll be going into custody.”
When the woman tells Josephs she doesn’t feel he’s respecting her, he
replies: “That's terrible. My heart bleeds.”
