Young people are not criminals, BCCLA reminds VPD

Young people are not criminals, BCCLA reminds VPD: The BCCLA has written the Vancouver Police Department reminding it that young people are not criminals. Immediately after the Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver, the mayor and police chief were reported as putting blame where it belonged, saying: “We had a small number of hooligans, basically, on the streets of Vancouver causing problems.” More recently, in the wake of reports criticizing the deployment of adequate resources to that event, Vancouver’s Police Chief has suggested a ban on all major events that attract young people ought to be considered.
