Kudos to Vancouver Police

I watched in disbelief before the TV for 3 hours last night of the post Stanley Cup (hockey game) riot in Vancouver, Canada. There were burning of vehicles, fighting and looting. The Vancouver Police controlled the crowd professionally without escalating the situation into nasty bloodshed as was in the Seattle WTO riot which was depicted in a movie name Battle in Seattle that I just watched the night before.

A sad end to an exciting series. They got lots of photos of the perpetrators. Hope they catch many.
