There were more than 50 people in attendance, the RCMP said, and there was a “clear indication of alcohol being consumed.” “A large group of men approached the two RCMP officers and stated that police were not welcome in the area,” an RCMP press release said.One officer, the release says, spoke to the president of the group, while the other attempted to keep the rest of the men calm. The president provided his phone number in case of future noise complaints.
As the officers went to leave, one of the men noted that they had not paid the $5 entry fee. The men surrounding the officers agreed. “To keep the situation diffused and avoid the potential for violence, the entry fee was paid with the RCMP officer’s personal funds,” the release says. “The RCMP is not affiliated with the ‘Freedom Fighters’ group.”Article content
