On Wednesday afternoon, complaints were lodged through the city’s 311 smartphone app expressing outrage over a marked Calgary police pickup truck decked out in bright orange Edmonton Oilers window flags.

“This is extremely unprofessional as these are city employees who are employed to represent the City of Calgary,” breathed one outraged resident.

Another resident, posting about 20 minutes earlier, took a decidedly more tongue-in-cheek approach.

“Saw a CPS Ford F-150 pulling into this location that had been vandalized,” quipped the complainant, filing his report immediately outside the service’s District 1 office on 26 Ave. S.E., the location of the purported hometown hockey heresy.

“Surely a representative of our community would never fly this horrible waste of nylon deliberately, and this officer was distracted while persons with sweatpants and good shoes placed this car flag on the truck.”
