Swinging Lumpen


The Vancouver Police Department, whose motto I learned recently is "Beyond the Call" (as in, "We're too busy to take yours"?), has released its down-to-business style digital poster that I'm sure those included on it will be emailing to a London Drugs Photolab to have blown up for framing so that they might hang it above their wide-screen TVs.

The poster refers to what the VPD are calling the "Breakout Riot Top 10" and, further down the site, includes video of its Top 10'ers engaged in various degrees of anti-social behaviour upon hearing word that a Breakout Festival headliner wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be performing. As a result, refrigerators were kicked, tents were collapsed and things were thrown.

One Top 10'er "assaulted a man," which we can assume doesn't mean a cop, otherwise the chances of getting a lead on him would be greatly diminished.
