| Comment | So by your own admission only the police are knowledgeable enough to know how best to deal with the situation the other day. They dealt with the situation and kept the peace using all the knowledge they have in crowd management.
This magical scenario you have in your head where a crowd of over 10k people can be dealt with in any way other than being carefully managed is ludicrous.
If there were a couple of hundred people they could have been kettled and controlled, but not in these numbers.
It takes, at least, 2 cops to arrest someone or issue a ticket. The whole time they're dealing with one person that's two cops less managing the other 10k people.
As you said, no one other than someone in the police can be knowledgeable enough to understand, so accept that you're wrong on this and might be seeing this all simply from your take on who the crowd being managed were.
Fully expect this to be downvored to fuck because this sub is quite pro polis except when it comes to managing rangers fans or orange walks. When we're not giving them all the jail instead of keeping the peace it's because we're complicit and joining in, not because we're managing them as we do every other mass gathering. |
