Stalf Sgt. Chris Braiden of
the Edmonton city police,

"as beer bottles crashed

around him,

“What you have here is

90 per cent of the people
being onlookers, looking
for a bit of excitement. And
then you have the inciters,
generally at the back,
lobbing the bottles.”
. Athree-block area along
Jasper Avenue, the city’s
main street, was choked
with people and police
cars, virtually blocking
any traffic movement.

Police, some wearing
riot helmets and most
carrying nightsticks, were
showered with bottles. The
officers repeatedly |
charged into the crowd
lining the sidewalks to
drag off offenders. ~

There were several
incidents of officers
wrestling belligerent

celebrants to the- ground,
pommelling them — with
their clubs, then dragging
them to paddywagons.,

“What we were trying to
do as we went along is
identify the inciters,”’ said
Braiden. ‘Then we go in
and remove them,”

The crowd continually
taunted the police,
shouting obscenities. Some
blamed the officers for
starting the trouble, saying
everything was fine until
police provoked the

violence.

who bled fram the side of
the head. The officer who
hit him was putting hand-
cuffs on the map.

“I was just standing
here,” said the woman,
who ‘suffered a bruised
wrist after being struck by

a nightstick. “These guys
are going nuts."

‘MacKeechnie deted
police had provoked the
crowd,

Braiden said firefighters
had sprayed water from a
high-pressue hose over top

of a crowd in the park.”

“We used it to sprinkle
them so that they would
get wet and get cold and
leave, " .

The crowd’ was finally
broken up around mid-
night. -
