Anyway, one kid in the clip you posted said the police were of no help or worse - I distinctly remember a cop wanting to open another turnstile & his offer being refused by an usher supervisor. The staff was clueless. I would say the only thing the police did wrong was to let the staff carry on & not shove 'em out of the way & take over. http://quimbob.blogspot.com/2009/12/who-riverfront-coliseum-1979-this-is.html I was going to take a cheap shot at WEBN having no value except as a historical archive but why bother?
