Peaceful "Officers of the Peace" in Vancouver

Altough I did not see them often, there were black hooded and masked protesters at the Vancouver Games.

Today is the 1st anniversary of the greatest Closing Ceremony EVER. So to honor this day, I must honor the security police who did an outstanding job during the Vancouver Olympic. In a crowded street near the center of the city I almost bumped into one of these protesters. These were, unlike the protesters in Mexico, protesting the President of their country, these were protesters of the Olympic Games. I could hear a voice under the black covering and then I heard a gentle yet firm voice of the security policeman directing him not to go in the direction he was going but to go in an opposite direction. His direction had to be reiterated four times yet he never raised his voice. He was firm, clear and concise!

Kudos Vancouver, and Happy First Anniversary to a spectacular Closing Ceremony February 28th, 2010!
