Calgary\u0027s worst riot in decades, Calgarians demand answers, justice and get lukewarm response after 150 rioters trash local neighbourhood

The councillor and police commission member says residents are confused by what they see on the videos from last Saturday afternoon.“There are still lots of questions that need to be answered,” he says.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.“As soon as possible. Even today,” he says Wednesday morning.

Neufeld says there could have been a “miscommunication” or the police “were not provided with information about one of the areas.”The police chief insists they were prepared and, once again, arresting people Saturday would have been ideal and would be a deterrent but injured rioters required medical attention.

Chief Constable Mark Neufeld of the Calgary Police Service speaks about the violent clash that took place in Falconridge on Saturday in Calgary on Tuesday, September 5, 2023.As for lack of politicians condemning the riots, Neufeld says that’s “an interesting question.”
