Absolutely. We had many people who were trying to get out of the downtown core. That was part of what made it difficult for policing the riot or bringing it in control quicker, although it was fairly quickly controlled. You have people trying to get out, who don't want to be involved, and you have people who just want to stand around and film and video, and they are entertained by what's going on. You also have a third element, and it is the group that is now egged on by others, who decide to tear off their shirts, cover their faces, and go in and loot a store.
At some point you're trying to police all three. You're trying to help those getting out. You're trying to help move those who are filming to safer locations so they don't get mobbed, attacked like the one gentleman I mentioned earlier—15 attacked him—while you're trying to arrest these masked-up people going into stores, robbing and pillaging the entire inventory. You're trying as police officers to do all three.
