Жизненно, чо уж :) Не знаю почему, но на совещаниях меня после получаса проведенного там времени всегда клонит в сон. То ли приобретенный в универе рефлекс сказывается, то ли и в самом деле делать там как правило нечего..

Police acted with a tactic never before seen in the city and they formed the H-Squad (or Heavy Squad)--a squad of a dozen undercover constables, assigned to go into Clark Park and make themselves targets of the gang.
"They were tough and strong. Christ, if you were under six-foot-four you were only able to serve coffee to these guys," says 69-year-old retired constable Vern Campbell who spent years on the robbery and homicide squad before retiring in 1994.
The H-Squad typically entered the park at night, with one squad member entering first, followed by another two who trailed behind. "The Clark Parkers would attack them and they'd lose--and I wouldn't want to have been a criminal at that point," says Campbell.
There were rumours the H-Squad was armed with baseball bats to fight the gang. Other rumours included police picking up gang members and throwing them off the docks into Burrard Inlet, shooting live rounds into the water only to pull the men out afterwards and order them to never enter the park again.
The rumours may have been just that. But the police are still discreet about the subject of the H-Squad.
