MOMS ACCUSE VANCOUVER POLICE DEPARTMENT OF "GRANDSTANDING" WHILE THEIR CHILDREN WERE TERRIFIED.

After a shooting incident at a Yaletown Starbucks today, Vancouver police tracked and arrested the suspect in the shooting outside busy Science World an hour or so later and the police incident was over at that point.

But all the young children inside enjoying a quiet day of science were held there by the police well after the incident was over. The kids were apparently terrified for the next couple of hours while the police, according to witnesses, paraded themselves around outside in front of camera crews from Global, etc.

Mom # 1, "They kept the kids in way too long rather than getting them out into waiting buses. They refused to let us go and my kids were frightened out of their wits by the dramatics. I don't understand it, they arrested the lone suspect hours earlier but still insisted the kids stay put."

Mom #2, "It was strange, it was as if the police were waiting for something to happen. Then the news crews arrived and the police made a big deal of rushing back and forth in front of the cameras even though the suspect had been taken away much earlier. They wouldn't let our kids out until the grandstanding was over."

Mom #3, "It was terrifying, the police started waving deadly firearms around, one even seemed to be pointing his gun at my 4 year old child, I'm just grateful no children were killed by these crazy cowboys. What the hell did they think they were doing?"

Well, this site can't answer these important questions but we do know that the VPD have had a lot of experience lately at pointing guns at innocent kids. Maybe it makes them feel like real men? We don't know the answer.

Fortunately no kids were killed by erratic and disturbed police during this situation.
