Female Canadian Singer Alysha Brilla Stopped By A Male Cop While Riding Bike Topless

She doesn't always go topless

Alysha Mohamed, who most people call Alysha Brilla, is a Canadian singer who can and will fight for her right to go topless in public.

Brilla and her two sisters were riding their bicycles topless on Friday night in Kitchener, Waterloo Ontario and having a good time. But that good time was soured by a male cop who needs to study the law some more before he goes back out on his beat. The cop saw them riding their bikes naked from the waist up and did a quick U-turn in his SUV to go harass the young females.

"Ladies, you're going to need to put shirts on," said the clueless cop. That's when the talented and intelligent Brilla informed the cop that he needed to check himself before he wrecked himself something fierce. Brilla took out her phone and started recording the incident, and that's when the officer got served... something fierce. The singer asked the cop: "What are you stopping us for?" That's when Officer "Notsobright" made up something quick (but not good) and asked the womyn if they had lights on their bikes.

"He would've seen our lights shining on him and our helmets and everything," Brilla told CTV News from Canada.

The threesome of topless girls had been riding around like that for some time that night and had even stopped to talk to a female officer. The female officer must know her law book better than her male counterpart -- or, at the very least she knew that it was legal for any person to go topless in Ontario.

The women were not charged with anything, of course, and afterward they went to the police station to make a complaint about the officer. Police Staff Sgt., Mike Haffner, said that there were conflicting stories about what really happened. I'm sure the stories are conflicting. The officer probably told his boss a different story that wasn't the truth so he wouldn't look like an idiot.

The sisters said they are pondering filing a complaint with the Office of the Independent Police Review Director. I think they should. It would make at least one cop in Ontario do some studying and learn how to do his job better.

"On Saturday, August 1st, we invite all people of all genders to march with us revealing as much or as little of their torso as they feel comfortable (please wear sunscreen though) in solidarity to support women's right to be topless in public, and also to show support for desexualizing women's breasts."

This is where I say: "Excuse me? Come again?" I'm all for this topless rally and all that, but desexualizing women's breasts? That's one of the craziest things I've ever heard, and I've heard a thing or two in my day. And that is not just me being a male chauvinist. I know for a fact that countless women (straight, bi, lesbian, etc.) love "sexualizing" breasts all the time.

At the time of this posting, 455 people indicated that they will be going to this rally. And 153 folks are thinking about going. Everybody in Ontario should go show their support so Alysha Brilla will never again be stopped by a male cop while riding bike topless in Ontario.
