Notes

1. A version of this chapter appears as an article in Studies in Symbolic Interaction. See Christopher J. Schneider and Daniel Trottier, 2013, “Social Media and the 2011 Vancouver Riot,” Studies in Symbolic Interaction 40:336–62.

2. The naming of a riot remains a political designation. To avoid confusion the term riot is used herein to refer to the civil disorder in Vancouver in 1994 and 2011.

3. Media that initially cooperated with law enforcement requests for raw footage were “commended” in the British Columbia Police Commission report as “these tapes provided an important and useful information base” for the identification of suspected rioters. The report continued, “We should mention that there was considerable discussion and some litigation about whether media should provide their footage of the riot to police to assist them in identifying those who participated in criminal acts on the night of the riot. The tapes were delivered to police, but we have been informed that appeals may be outstanding. Therefore, we will not comment further on the matter” (1994, 44).
