Vancouver is a town that, to say the least is wee-bit liberal minded. You can see our soft approach to crime and anti-social behavior everywhere; Critical Mass bike ride, a drug injection site, open air bazaars of stolen goods ect. <br /><br /> "The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval of police actions" Sir Robert Peel.<br /><br />I would have loved to see the police unleash the dogs, and drive that pretty new tank of theirs right down the middle of Georgia street but the Vancouver public doesn't want to see real policing of the criminal element. <br /><br />So stop being critical of the police for reflecting the soft views of society, be critical of the society that lets this happen.diverdarrennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242439673360261416.post-84740926824600621612011-06-16T18:59:14.059-07:002011-06-16T18:59:14.059-07:00venit tumultus usque ad gaudium

The Olympics and their relatively well behaved crowds were a one off. The mess that is the misnamed "Granville Street Entertainment District" should have been a tip-off to the authorities as every week-end there is carnage, drunken boorish behaviour and the scent of open warfare in the air fuelled by men and women who can't handle their alcohol intake. Expand this to last night's riot and carnage plus the result of the game....and bingo! Riots after games are nothing new...Montreal 1955 (The Richard Riot), Montreal 1993, Vancouver 1994, soccer riots all over Europe and so on....this will happen when you have a winner and a loser. Is this our way of finally convincing the world that we too are "world class"...I sure as hell hope not.Gavin.noreply@blogger.com
