WINNIPEG – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers weren’t the only ones with their hands full during Sunday’s season-ending loss at Canad Inns Stadium. Winnipeg police report that one of their on-duty officers was assaulted in the stands while removing an intoxicated fan from the stands, and several others officers who assisted were showered with beer. The incident happened at about 2:20 p.m. of a game that started at noon. Police said an officer was attempting to remove the intoxicated fan when a man seated beside the drunk tried to intervene and a second officer moved to assist. A struggle ensued with the intoxicated fan before a middle-aged man — who was described as being dressed like Hulk Hogan — could be wrestled from his seat.The beer was tossed at police officers who responded to assist. During the melee, one officer and a fan fell down about 12 stairs, It was while officers were walking the drunk out of the area, police say, that a third man struck an officer several times in the back of the head. William Cody McGimpsey, 24, of Winnipeg has been charged with assaulting a police officer. A 52-year-old man was taken into custody under the Intoxicated Persons Act.

The Winnipeg Police Service is already following most of the recommendations of B.C.’s Braidwood Inquiry into taser use, city councillors were told this morning. Earlier this year, Winnipeg’s police were asked to respond to 19 recommendations made by the Braidwood Inquiry, which issued a report following its examination of the death of Polish airport visitor Robert Dziekanski following multiple taser discharges by RCMP officers. Const. Hank Bergen, a Winnipeg police use-of-force expert, appeared before council’s protection and community services committee to dissect all 19 Braidwood recommendations and said most but not all are already followed by a police service that’s highly trained in protocols governing taser use. That said, recommendations to only use tasers to enforce criminal-code offences or when officers are certain bodily harm will take place will not be implemented, Bergen said, because police need to have all enforcement options at their disposal and could place themselves or others in danger if they stop and consider too many variables in emergency situations. Another recommendation — to stop deploying taser probes on police trainees during testing — was put into place several months ago, police Chief Keith McCaskill said. Trainees are now zapped in stun-drive mode — that is, without the projectile probes — instead. Yet another recommendation to place defibrillators in all police vehicles may not be feasible, but Winnipeg’s police will explore the idea anyway because the devices could prove useful in a variety of medical situations, McCaskill said.

Police are again warning people to be careful when they meet their Internet friends in person after a group of people was assaulted and robbed in Winnipeg early Saturday. Police are investigating whether the suspects planned the hold-up. The suspects were invited to the home in the 200 block of Clyde Road in East Elmwood by its occupants, who they recently met over a social-networking website. This situation is a bit different because one of the victims met one of the suspects in person in the past through a mutual friend, police said. When the suspects arrived around 3:30 a.m., they allegedly assaulted and stole belongings from the residents — two males, aged 21 and 25, and a 25-year-old woman, who are roommates, police said. One of the victims was cut by a knife-wielding male, police said. The victims didn’t require medical attention, police said. No one has been arrested. The suspects are three males and a female, police said.
