No, you're not looking in this backpack
The police, particularly this officer, asked a number of people to search their backpacks and bags. A signficant portion agreed to do so. But, the woman on the left steadfastly refused his initially "friendly" request, and the progressively tougher bullying attempts. He was obviously unhappy, but was also very careful to stay within the technical limits of what he's allowed to say and do.

Signs of peace in Calgary
Women in Black is an international movement and network of women in different cities, each acting independently. They regularly hold silent vigils, in support of peace and against violence in general. The group in Calgary is seen on the 2nd and 4th Friday of every month, at Famous Five statues, which are located at Olympic Plaza.

I arrived at the protest late, and probably missed the peak. I asked these two ladies, who were taking a break, and sat at a nearby bench, if I could take their photo, and they were nice enough to pose with the signs, that they had just put down. A forum thread about the rally is here.

note: Initially the face of the self-declared "undercover" cop (2nd from right) was pixilated. But, since then, I have revealed it, as I believe there is a serious threat to public safety from people who say they're police, fail to provide any ID, and who engage in secret/undocumented detentions.
