This may possibly be the dumbest alleged ‘crime’ ever.
Generally, I’m pretty supportive of law enforcement, particularly now, when they are under attack from the far left. But this is one silly response by the West Vancouver Police.
Maybe the only positive thing we can say about it is at least it wasn’t a U.S. police department that did this.
Investigators would like to speak with the driver responsible for defacing a recently installed Pride crosswalk at 16th St. and Esquimalt Ave. If you have information, please call 604-925-7300. https://t.co/ywkNR4DMAv pic.twitter.com/ViW0ZxcxYN

Here’s evidence of the dastardly crime:
A week after it was installed, the Pride crosswalk outside @WestVanPolice's HQ at 16th/Esquimalt Ave. was damaged by the car seen below. No one has been arrested. The crosswalk hasn't been repaired yet. If you recognize the car below, tell police. pic.twitter.com/6NRnWoBpHa

Did you catch it? A dude driving a mustang pulled out and, omg, left a skid mark on the Pride crosswalk. That’s the crime.
“This is very upsetting,” says Cst. Kevin Goodmurphy. “For whatever reason, this person has chosen to leave a gesture of hate on a crosswalk that stands for the exact opposite.”
Investigators have captured CCTV footage of the incident and are looking for the following vehicle:
Crosswalk update: We have identified the driver of the vehicle involved in the incident.
Thank you for those who have come forward with information.

They actually treated it like a crime and tracked the guy down.
A skid mark on the street is now a “hate gesture” and a “mischief to property.” We are truly into the Twilight Zone.
Um, guys? It’s a ROAD. Skid marks are just a small part of what’s likely to be on a road.
Wouldn't that also just be known as… driving? https://t.co/AJaHoiZoAA

And folks, it’s a crosswalk, where people walk. Isn’t walking over it offensive? Why isn’t this a crime?
More hate crime and bigots:
