Funny police incident

Canadian Achilles
By Canadian Achilles

I'm new to doha, been here a couple of weeks, but already running into hilariousness.

so i was stopped at a red light with a police car right in front of me, and all of a sudden the rear driver side door opens and a startled, bare footed, Asian man hops out and looks around, then proceeds to run like hell towards the cars behind me.

a few seconds later, a disgruntled traffic cop comes out and does this head shake that said "ugh, here we go again" and took off after the Asian guy.

my mother and brother in the car with my were shocked first and then hilarity ensued, especially when i drove past the open door and another scared Asian man was still sitting in the car, shocked at what just happened.

we'd never seen anything like it. no handcuffs, no child safety'd doors. it's no wonder though, this country has one of the lowest crime rates in the world.

there's just something really funny about a bare foot Asian man's futile attempt to escape the law.

you don't get it..

i understand. you seem to be doing that a lot here.

yes, i grew up in the land where most here only dream of and yes, in toronto, women are even allowed to go topless, legally, because that's how awesome canada is, its even more free than america.

the point i was making was how the skimpy clothed, east migrants are exposing the youth to a more free and open way of living. i think it's awesome. the progressive social change, duh.

again for some reason you find that to be insulting..

i guess you can't appease everyone here, but at least don't complain if you wont bother to understand. JS

also you people all seriously need to chill and act like adults. most of you here are older than me by at least a decade and yet I feel like i'm more mature and rational..

I just can't get this whole discussion about the "fact" that the "Asian" was a Filipino! NOWHERE did his comments say that!!!!... and Asian in my country means anyone from China, Japan, Philippines, Korea, etc etc...

i've created a monster :/

i agree we should have like and dislike buttons.

I assure you guys, i'm not racist.

koodos to the hot filipinas who dress provocatively so as to show what it means like to be free of social secularism.

you filipinas are the front lines, the driving force for freedom and change.

dubai opened it's mind and doors to all possibilities and freedoms, and look at how awesome they've become.

I hope qatar will one day do the same, as it looks like the doors are being jarred and pried open slowly by the amazing filipina crow bar in skimpy clothing.

just my 2 cents, haters gonna hate, but they can't abstain from staring :P

removing the offensive "words".

The OP apologized...so everyone chillax?

And as for drover's dog, he's one of those pinoy-phobic people....let him be....

there's nothing one can do or say to change his opinions (he's entitled to it) about the Philippines or the Filipinos....so arguing with be futile coz the more people reacts to his tirades, the more he is enjoying it....

@Canadian Achilles

It was very unfortunate that a lot of Filipinos got offended with you mistakenly identifying an asian man as a Filipino. I too, being a Filipino myself can mistook an Indonesian or Nepali as a Filipino. I understand that you do not mean to be racist, it was an honest mistake. I would just like to point out that no Filipino is stupid enough to run from the police because he/we know that there's nowhere to run/hide here in Doha.

By Canadian Achilles• 27 Oct 2012 13:21
Canadian Achilles

i realize now the term phillipino made me look racist, and i apologize from now on, it's asian.

many of my good friends back home are from the phillipines.

people need to take a chill pill, despite my lack of explaining, you should at least ask questions before letting your imagination run rampant with misconceptions.

why on earth would I want to establish myself as a racist in a country full of all kinds of different nationalities.

I grew up in Toronto, one of the most multi-cultural cities in the world. I have friends from all over the globe.

just yesterday I was hanging out with cool dudes from this website, clearly there's also misinformed and insecure individuals on here too who would rather throw blame than understand. let alone derail forum topic from the original post.

By Canadian Achilles• 27 Oct 2012 13:04
Canadian Achilles

holy hell people!

clearly I came across the same way.

I'm not racist! and i'm sorry i said phillipino, he was a darker colored Asian gentleman. the cop car in front of me and I were on the right hand side of the road so i had to drive around left.

wow, what a way to start off here on QL.

I was only trying to describe what I saw, and it cracked us up in the car after the shock wore off because we'd never ever seen anything like that before in Canada, let alone right in front of us.

the cop was alone, hence me looking into the car when i drove around it..

wow, you people make horrible assumptions about people.

again sorry if it came across that way. and yes, i just started looking for work. not sure it's worth staying here with people that can't take a misunderstood joke..

Question is, the OP may have made a mistake...maybe its a NEPALI or KOREAN.

He also said he's CANADIAN....new in Doha and on this website. he's also jobless so he got a lot of time to waste....PLUS he's looking to meet "ENGLISH SPEAKING" for friendship...so give him a break and let him have his day under the (Qatar) sun.

Chill...

Turns out that this thread woke up all filipinos in Doha, c'mmon pls dont crucify this chap, he was just sharing something funny. BTW almost everyone can identify the nationality after having spent an year over in doha, no big deal to identify esp Asians.

By ghazalz• 27 Oct 2012 07:04
ghazalz

He wants to share something unusual he saw there, but his choice of words made some people offended. That's common here.

In my opinion, it was a dramatic scene rather than funny.

By anonymous• 27 Oct 2012 05:24

SSplash seems like you dont have a life to get.. sharing a story that happened ( sadly was about a philipino which he can easily recognize same as we do ) doesnt gives you the right to say his racist.

By anonymous• 27 Oct 2012 04:54
anonymous

get a life, get out from behind your screen and see the real worl, stop saying all people hate pinos,, your wrong, grow up , get life,, see real people dont worry about the little things, life is to short to make an issue over a pino running away from a police car,, please.

By ssplash• 27 Oct 2012 04:22

Asians have common looks but it does'nt means they have same nationality..like you guys-have fair skin,tall nose,blonde hair does this means all guys out there with same looks came from Australia??..It does not make sense at all!

By ssplash• 27 Oct 2012 04:14

R u aware bout the contents of ur post bro.?..How many times you mentioned the word "insecure"?..c'mmon! R u referrin' to us? or to urself??hahaha..as u said cool down bro.!

By anonymous• 27 Oct 2012 04:04

it not that hard to pick the pino out,, my god,, are you all that dumb,,, why so insecure,, it would not be the first pino locked up in a police car, i know some pinos that was locked up last week over drugs,, they not the first,, wake up,, relax,, chill out,,, as i said it not rocket science to pick the pino,, what he said is not racist,,, get a live you limp sticks,,, wake up stop being so insecure as you all are here,,

....it would not be funny if you were in that guys situation. The next thing you would be wondering why you were being locked up and maybe days later you would be on your way home and you would still be wondering about the reason for that

how did you know that he is a Filipino? did he told you that he is a filipino when he passed by you or does he has a signage saying I am a filipino? How will you drove past the open door of the police car wherein you just said that the police car is infront of you and the door is open? so definitely with that situation, you have to drove to the right side of the police car and not on the left side in which the door is open at the same time it will block your way. and why the one who is driving the police is the one who took off in pursuit where there is another police in the passenger side because in a police car, there is always a presence of 2 police, the one who drives and the other one is the buddy.
