   Watching the video on this one, I think the cops were just there on   
   standby in case something broke out.  Nothing did, and everything was   
   calm... the convention staff spoke with the vendor and the vendor packed   
   up and went home and the police went back to where they came from.   
      
   I gather the vendor was not too polite online afterward, but they have   
   a right to be impolite even though it might not be good for their   
   business reputation.
