LE tactics are wrong. It doesn’t take 5 cops on each rioter to handcuff them. they should use 2 to handcuff, and the other 3 to swing billy clubs on anyone getting within 10 feet obstructing the arrest. I haven’t seen ANY cop use their club, which is a proven deterrent for centuries.
You’re not in that fracas. Because the police are no longer able to use certain types of holds, it takes more of them to subdue the suspect without injury than it used to.

Cross this line, get arrested.
Agreed. There need to be some broken kneecaps and arms to send the message.
I was just a kid in 1948 when my dad took me to watch a Communist May Day parade on 8th Ave in NYC. When a fight broke out between the stevedores and the Communists, the cops waded in.
My dad, in a detached manner, told me "You sure can tell the rookies from the old timers" "How?" "The rookies swing their clubs overhead and beat on their heads - and get nowhere. The old timers use their clubs like a piston, punching 'em in the gut. They fold over and they move on to the next guy." Fight was over in 15 minutes.
