In the quiet hours before a rural Ontario restaurant opened its doors, a man's refusal to leave set off a chain of events that tested the boundaries of civil conduct and workplace safety. What began as a simple request to vacate became an act of aggression and degradation that drew police, tasers, and criminal charges. The incident, near Owen Sound in Georgian Bluffs, reminds us that those who serve the public carry a vulnerability that society is obligated to protect.
