Why the Vancouver Riot Happened
Last June, thousands of disappointed hockey fans took to the streets of Vancouver after their team lost the Stanley Cup Finals to the Boston Bruins. Now a report has been released looking at why the riot happened and how to protect the city from something like that happening again. Anchor Marco Werman speaks with Canadian Broadcasting Corp.’s, Chris Brown about the report’s findings.
