Well they have slowly been gathering more cops in Riot Gear, and they seem to be using their batons to great effect if one of them gets close.

I'd be really fuckin pissed if that was my car on fire.

Apparently they had every officer in the city on standby. Role call going on right now I bet...

Oh yeah. But I would not have left my car parked anywhere near downtown tonight. During the game on the CBC feed they kept saying how peaceful it was just like during the Olympics, kind of gloating about it.

True I wouldn't be anywhere near the area.

Cops are doing a good job of containing the crowd without making it worse so far. Just slowly moving people away from the fire.

Somebody just got his ass dragged off and arrested.
If it was the same guy I seen as well I was waiting for a cop to pop him. He was trying to use his weight to fight going with them. I would not have a issue with a cop knocking someone out like that.

The crowds were estimated to be the same size as the Olympics but back then the cops had the Army there too.

I heard riots in Boston are breaking out.

EDIT: One thing is for sure is that there is some hot tail in Vancouver.
