My Observation


In response to last weeks post about the alleged police abuse at the September Rider game in Calgary, I thought it would only be appropriate to share what I observed at last Mondays Rider game in Calgary.

First of all, from my initial arrival at the football stadium in Calgary, I was careful to pay close attention to police interaction with fans. I did experience police throwing out some fans and they DID seem to be quite rough. In other words, the level of force seemed higher than needed. Also, I must say the large amount of police was astonishing. Above is an example from that day... was it really necessary to have four officers in such a concentrated area? Well, maybe if you consider the average Rider fan to be a dangerous threat to society...
