"Players not charged with assaulting police so games could go on, says Blair"
"... Responding to a media question as to why no charges were laid against the players if officers were assaulted, Blair said police "exercised discretion" in order not to disrupt the tournament."

A member of the Chilean delegation was subdued by taser during the brawl.
Canadian Press photographer Nathan Denette witnessed the post-match incident outside the stadium and said it was like a "big dogfight." He said at one point, "fists were flying everywhere" after players saw that one of their own had been tasered.
A FIFA spokesman said early Friday that no arrests had been made.

At the 2005 Arizona Press Club Awards, Mr. Anglen won first place in the Investigative reporting category. He was the recipient of the Don Bolles Award for his report entitled "Taser tied to 'independent' study that backs stun gun'. “As part of an extraordinarily thorough investigation of Taser International, Anglen uncovered ‘smoking gun’ documents that showed the manufacturer was heavily involved in the key study that purported the devices are safe. Anglen also uncovered conflicts of interest and documented wide-spread problems with Taser safety — a matter of national and international public interest.”
In 2006, Mr. Anglen was a runner up for the Arizona Press Club's Virg Hill Journalist of the Year award. Peter Bhatia of The Oregonian wrote “Robert Anglen is an investigative reporter, pure and simple. Clearly, he is a reporter who, once he sinks his teeth into something, stays with it until the story is done. His ongoing work around the company that makes Tasers speaks to that."
