Gastown Riots
The Gastown Riots occurred in Vancouver, Canada, in 1971. Following weeks of arrests by undercover agents in Vancouver as part of a special police operation directed by Mayor Tom Campbell, police attacked a small protest demonstration in Gastown against the use of undercover agents and in favour of the legalization of marijuana.
