Moments later, after exiting the vehicle, I was attacked by these two men,” he said..“As someone who is running for City Council, I know the growing concerns across Edmonton regarding rising crime and violent assaults. At a height of 6-ft. 5-ins. I never thought I would be the victim of such a brazen attack. This event has left me physically scarred, including bruises and a large cut on my face, but my resolve to run for council and clean up this city is firm!”.Shortly after the attack Schindelka film an emotional Facebook post on the incident..“If you look at my face you can see I’m not doing so well. It was two young punks who passed by on the right side of my vehicle just a couple blocks from my house,” he said..“The accused me of cutting them off and they were passing me at 70 to 80 km/h. So anybody who thinks that this city isn’t in a crisis when it comes to safety and everywhere, not just downtown…look at my face..“You want to defend the police? I am not the guy you want to talk to.”.Schindelka said the “wonderful” police officers who came to his aid told him they had a lead on who the culprits are..“It’s tough when you get jumped and have the hell beat out of you. The city’s in a state of lawlessness in some spots and if we get rid of the police, it’s going to be worse,” he said..“Who do you call when bad stuff happens? You don’t call a social worker, you don’t call someone to give you a hug right away, you call the cops..“I have more respect for the police in this city than you can imagine. This is where we’re at right now Edmonton, this is the kind of stuff that needs to change. Defunding the police is a big ‘no.’ Period.”.Dave Naylor is the News Editor of the Western Standard.,dnaylor@westernstandardonline.com,.Twitter.com/nobby7694
