When i started going to that thing they barely even HAD police there.

There were 6 security guards (not police) on one drunk white woman that seemingly did nothing. They dragged her from the dance floor and put her face to the ground causing her to bleed.

I don’t know any other details- but I did see the altercation from the beginning, and again- I think it was just a drunk woman.

well that is alarming because they have guns. If you are having a public event with crowds and lots of alcohol, and you need armed security, I kind of feel like that ought to be real police, not armed mall cops.

I can only imagine that the secret cafe with the area's best soup has shuttered in lieu of the White People Twitter onslaught?

This is truly unfortunate.

Do they hold Oktoberfest festivities at the local high school?

Quit going years ago when they quit letting you bar hop. Caged octoberfest takes away the whole reason of going to that town and renders it boring.

Making it "boring" and pushing out people who were just there to bar hop and get drunk has been their goal for years. When I started it was purely volunteer security and maybe one cop. Then too many people got too drunk and broke windows, got in fights, vandalized cars, etc. and now you have the security like they have in the picture. For a while they were considering not holding it at all.

Police did that shit to me at that event like 9 years ago. I was sober and asking to talk with a manager about a customer service issue. Left with roadrash across my face. They arrested me and dropped the charges. Seems like not much has changed.

Looks nothing like what an Oktoberfest should be.

At what point does dressing like that become impersonating a police officer? The back of the body armor might say phoenix but the shape of the shoulder patch creates the illusion that you're about to deal with local law enforcement.

Wow. This is super unfortunate. It used to be many people partying with no real problems and hardly any security. Maybe security at the door, that's it. I served beer at Octoberfest for a few years and it was always rad!

ACAB (and in this case fuck rent-a-cops.)

Edit: I just read a local post that clarified this a bit. This photo has one of the two girls that were drunk and fighting one another. So, I don't know, I wasn't there. Sorry to see the security presence but if your acting a fool you're giving 'em a job.

This is why I'm glad they moved the well behaved family focused Oktoberfest to Wenatchee

It’s a ghost of what it used to be! Too bad Leavenworth! You had a really good thing going & didn’t have intelligence enough to know how to deal with the awesome fun crowd that used to come there!! What a joke!!

The bartenders and servers are actually enforcing state law that forbids the serving of alcohol to obviously intoxicated individuals. The Liquor Control Board had a crackdown several years ago because of the massive increase in alcohol serving establishments (primarily the wine tasting rooms).

Saw shit like this the night before Thanksgiving weekend. People were just getting their drinks on when the local shitheel cops came wading in with night sticks, smacking everyone upside the head. I was in the back, and those assfuck cops nearly caused a riot. Myself and my friend ran out through the back door into the alley and escaped. Came to find out a few days later that those cops clobbered the living shit out of like 50-75 people that were just in the wrong tavern at the wrong time.

Only the 2 with tan pants are security. The 3 with green pants are Chelan county sheriffs deputies. Look up what the patch looks like. Those security officers were just assisting the sheriffs.

That isn't proper procedure. Either the security officers make a citizen's arrest and the police/sheriff simply take custody after apprehension -or- the police/sheriff take charge of the scene and the security officers stand aside. The fact that the security officers are on the ground with the suspect typically means that they are making the arrest (and thereby taking full liability in the event of excessive force or false arrest).

Yeah I know that’s what’s interesting here. I am confused why there is only one deputy that’s involved in the apprehension while the others just watch him and the security guards.
