Tight through part of the calf

«When. the dog finally got

off him, Cunningham says,

he was ordered to get out of
the area. while his struggling
girlfriend was dragged down
the street by three officers.

She maintains that while
she was in the paddy wagon
an officer kept tapping her
on the head witha truncheon
to provoke her.

When Cunningham was at
Lions Gate. Hospital to have
his leg ‘stitched, he met his
brother, Peter, who was also
there for the same reason.
The brother had been bitten
by two police dogs at the
same time.

Alistair says
that although there was
noise outside the building,
he considers the party was

“really quite tame, for the
amountiof people there.”

He maintains the charge

of unlawful. assembly laid

against “his girlfriend is

. unfounded since he was with

her the entire time and yet
he was not charged.

Meanwhile, his father,
Allan Cunningham, says
there are so many
irregularities on the part of
the police that he wil] be
drawing up a dossier with a
view to making out a case
against the RCMP alleging
police brutality.

He says he will be ap-

“A dog should not be
allowed. to undertake an
indiscriminate toll of
whoever ts there,” he
maintains. “I don’t know if it
was set on my son
deliberately but, more
important, it was not called
off.”

He says of the party scene
which confronted the police:
“No one is saying they didn’t

-have a big - problem or

weren't outnumbered: - but
they had an advantage.”

Inspector Paul Hendricks
of North .Van RCMP
disputes many of the
statements made by the
Cunninghams, including the
location of the incident. He
says the dog master has
assured him he stayed in the
immediate vicinity of the
party and did not encounter
Cunningham a block and-a-
half away.

As for the justification of
using. dogs in a party
situation, he insists: “We
couldn't do without them.

We have a limited number of
people in an evening and

calls coming in all-the time,
especially when we have this
horrendous party situation.”
Hendricks says the
Chesterfield address is a
repeat trouble spot. Police
went there in July in
response to neighbors’
complaints and found about
300 people at the party. A
person there had told the
police it was a party for his
birthday and then the same

they didn’t bite anyone but

these are nasty situations
where on occasions some
people won’t do what the
officer wants them to do. If
they were told not to react or
made a wrong move con-
trary to what the police
officer said, it’s likely to
happen.”
However, he added: “It
seems like rather a sub-
stantial bite, there’s no
doubt about that.”

Even so, he said: “I don’t
think there was a police
overreaction, nor do I feel
there was police brutality on
the basis of what I know
about it and what I was told.
These party situations are
just a fiasco. There is

nothing orderly about
them.”
As for the decision to send

in the men in riot gear,
Hendricks explains: “It is not
unusual for these party
people to become very
obnoxious in this situation
and they push the police to
their point of tolerance

where _they have to make a
move.”

Bottles were = thrown at

‘officers, says Hendricks,

adding: “In that type of
situation J would endorse
helmets being worn. I am
not going to wait for a
serious injury to authorize

it.”

Meanwhile, he says he has
received no. complaints
about police behavior and
the only injury he is ex-
pecting will be that in court
when arrested partygoers
appear to face the charges
laid against them.
