I would like to have Wayne's or Squirrely Dan's take on this.

Even if it had been a real weapon, errahbody knows Stormtroopers can't hit shit.

From “Oh Canada!” to “Oh, Canada.... (facepalm)”.  And this is where I stop before going full Canadian cloak room

The arrest took the Funko right out of that place

Upside to Canada:  Fewer mass shootings than U.S.

Downside to Canada:  In the off chance you are in possession of a clearly plastic gun (maybe not at first glance, but they handled it enough to know better), it takes three of them several minutes to figure out what it is and they still arrest you and whoop your ass.

Good thing it wasn't Detroit (or St Louis, or Baltimore, or...).  They would have emptied all their clips, and reloaded, then done some investigation.

Man...we moved from the Red Coated Canadian Mounties to the overly aggressive US form of Police arriving with guns drawn really quickly.

"Dudley DO AS I SAY, MOTHERFUCKER!" was a much less popular cartoon back in the day.

Capt Kirk rallies the Trekies to the Star War's defense:  William Shatner blasts Lethbridge police takedown of woman in stormtrooper costume

More strange from the article above:

Shatner's disdain for the officer's actions was not limited to one comment. He went on to point out the infamous 2019 incident where a Lethbridge police officer euthanized a deer by repeatedly running it over with his vehicle.

Lethbridge seems like it sucks.

Well, let it not be said that Canada is always better than the U.S. when it comes to violence.  If you repeatedly run over a deer in the U.S. in order to kill it on purpose, we call it animal cruelty and it could carry federal crimes if you commit it on federal lands like parks, national forests, etc.  But in Canada, they call it "Euthanasia" and it's totally fine-even humane, unless it's later proven you could have still taken it to Deer Hospice.

Can't believe the cops weren't out that next day to assault those two troublemakers that are clearly brandishing some obviously-real laser-swords!
