这几年下来，妖蛾子不少，最近的是downtown riot，昨天city caucus出了篇分析，一堆的事实，把罗市长批得体无完肤。

_BBCODE_WROTE:Now that we have a moment to reflect upon what happened, I thought it would be of interest to our readers if I reviewed some of the facts as we currently know them. You might refer to what follows as Robertson’s Riot for Dummies.
1 Vancouver’s City Manager has admitted she did not read any of the reports coming out of the 1994 Game 7 Stanley Cup riots. She told CKNW news "If I had to read every single report that was behind a lot of business we do I would never see the light of day." (NOTE: it took me all of about 70 minutes to review the report from top to bottom)
2 Vanouver’s Mayor admitted that he too didn’t read nor was he briefed about the contents of the reports coming out of the ’94 riots.
3 Although Vancouver council debated a report last April regarding security costs for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the decision to set up big screens, fan zones and invite 100,000 people downtown were all executive decisions made exclusively by the Mayor’s office. None of the details related to crowd control, parking restrictions, staff preparation etc…was ever debated at council or included in the staff report.
4 It was clear in an April report that the VPD had no clue there would be a massive gathering taking place on Georgia St. only a few weeks later. The report states "given the success of the 2010 Olympics , we believe that people will again congregate in the Granville/Robson corridors."
5 CKNW reports "the Vancouver Police watered down plans for policing the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals, a month before the playoffs even began. According to minutes from a Vancouver Police Board finance committee meeting on March 2nd, and a March 16th board meeting, the department downplayed the need for officers in the play-offs. Specifically, Inspector Rick McKenna said the need would be less than in 2010, because of "decreased momentum" and the fact the celebrations were spreading out over the Lower Mainland. A budget more than 300-thousand dollars less than what the department requested in 2010 if the Canucks made it to the finals. The meetings were months before City Hall planned outdoor viewing parties, which drew more than a hundred thousand people for Game Seven."
6 We don’t know the exact number of officers deployed during the riot, as both the Mayor and Chief of Police refuse to release this information. This is despite the fact the independent review order by the Province will likely reveal exactly how many police were actually on duty that night.
7 Tom Stamatakis, the head of Vancouver’s Police Union, said there were not enough officers on the street that night. He claims it would take about 5000 police to manage the crowd that amassed on the night of Game 7. This is a far cry from the reported 400-500 personnel that were allegedly on the streets of downtown Vancouver.
8 Police Chief Jim Chu claims he was never denied resources from City Hall for additional police, but he also told local CTV news that he could have used more police officers on the night of the riot.
9 The Mayor and Police Chief initially blamed a small group of hoodlums and anarchists bent on creating chaos for the riot. It’s now evident this theory was not based on any real evidence. Many of the young people being arrested and posting online confessions are from upstanding middle-class families. They are hardly what most people would consider as anarchists.
10 The Mayor said he was completely “surprised” by what happened after Game 7. This is despite the fact that the last time the Canucks made it that far into the playoffs there was a major riot.
11 As early as Game 5 police were reporting more trouble within the crowds appearing downtown. By Game 6, the Solicitor General was asked by the VPD to limit liquor sales in order to reduce issues related to public intoxication and over-consumption.
12 Although a report was brought before council last April regarding security plans for the playoffs, it did not include any details regarding Robertson’s CBC fan zones. The location and size of the venue as well as the decision to close off Georgia Street were decisions made directly out of the Mayor’s office.
13 In contrast, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts chose to bring her concept of a special playoff live site to council for full debate and scrutiny. The site had a strict no alcohol policy and focused on families first. There were no major problems reported at this venue.
14 Most of the downtown bars/restaurants which served liquor were already filled to capacity by noon. Therefore, there will little capacity for the downtown core to absorb an additional 100,000 people - with the exception of Robertson’s Georgia Street fan zone.
15 Experts say Game 7 of a Stanley Cup final should always be treated very different from other playoff games. The dynamics of a guaranteed do or die situation is more likely to evoke emotions not seen in previous gatherings – win or lose.
16 The Mayor says there were the same number of Vancouver Police officers on the streets as the gold medal men’s hockey game during the 2010 Olympic. What he fails to mention is that during the Olympics there were about 13,000 security personnel on Vancouver’s streets which came from a number of police forces from across Canada. It is estimated there were at most 400-500 VPD in the downtown core on June 15th.
17 After days of facing intense media scrutiny, Robertson has finally accepted partial responsibility for what happened. But he also told the Vancouver Courier that the Vancouver Police and the Province of BC must also accept some of the blame.
18 Chief Jim Chu has attempted to weaken the credibility of the 1994 BC Police Commission review into the 1994 riots by issuing a blistering attack letter focusing on Bob Whitelaw, one of the key individuals who worked on the report. Rather than spending time attacking Whitelaw, why don’t they just respond to his suggestions that the crowd control plan wasn’t adequate?
19 Both Chief Jim Chu and City Manager Penny Ballem were quoted in the Vancouver Courier only hours before the riot as stating they had no concerns about a riot.
20 A number of VPD officers have reported they were not called into duty on the evening of Robertson’s Riot. Many of them headed into the downtown core after they heard riots had broken out.
21 Police were stationed at the major downtown SkyTrain stations earlier in the day and witnessed thousands of drunken youth heading into the downtown core. One must assume Transit Police also witnessed unruly behavior and the makeup of the crowd that headed downtown late in the afternoon. -
