Basil B Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Batons? might as well just give them peashooters... How about 5,000 trained police officers, full face helmets, fire retardant uniforms, bullet proof jackets, riot shields, baseball bats, CS gas, rubber bullets, bird shot... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/royalty/5487689/Prince-Charles-observes-riot-police-in-action.html?image=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plopmeister Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) As a Trainer I can only say .........Uh ! Oh ! As a Sergeant that served on the streets of NI during the Hunger Strike riots I can see how nervous they are just posing for the cameras.....A couple of 10 year olds from Strabane would have them split up and running in all directions within minutes....
