This short clip shows only a small part of the events outside the Bethel AME Church where memorial services were held for Stan Tookie Williams today. The deployment of riot police outside the church was not welcome and viewed by many as insulting. Despite this attempt of intimidation and provocation by the police the crowd showed great restraint and no incidences have been reported.
