No, being weird is not a crime. I chalk it up to lack of sensitivity of the officers.. When you get to be that age, you see things more sentimentally and the stories tend to be rambling and long; eg talking about things you used to do with people who passed away is common. However that kind of talk, tends to set of the spidey senses of police officers especially inexperienced ones who might get stuck on a bad shift (not to mention towards end of a shift too!).
I also understand the problem with Terminal HD management too, since it is a pretty high crime area. It is better to call it in be safe than sorry than to send an employees in harms way.. especially at a dark parking lot.
Language is not an issue, since he was Canadian (worked for a previous generation of developers who built Vancouver). I just think perspectives were just different and misunderstanding. HD called VPD about someone in the parking lot. VPD showed up and my friend tried to regaled them of tales of the past, thought he was making friends etc. VPD officier deemed it is better to bring him in to St Paul's..

HD may have called the cops on your friend, which I highly doubt, but for the police to detain him, your friend had to have done something.
Please don't be spreading such things without knowing all the details.
Being weird isn't a crime.
