Very cool. And yes it appears to be contained like a training exercise.

Gotta go with what works!....................

I was hoping it was the flaming logs tactic... see the 4:20 mark...

Impressive! We should consider the same against the communist/antifa/BLM

P.J. O’Rourke’s book Holidays in Hell has a chapter (I think based on a Rolling Stone article) where he covers rioter-police interactions in Seoul. He was quite impressed at the level of organization on both sides.

Here’s an article with some quotes from it.

I worked pretty closely with the KNP Riot Police Teams when I was an MP in Korea. When the crazies would demonstrate at the gates of a US installation, the ROKs would be on the outside and the US MPs would be inside the gate.

The ROK has conscripted national service and not all go to the military. A lot of the riot police are conscripts, but their leadership are career professionals.

Unlike US police who may be street cops, patrol officers etc., who are trained in civil disturbance ops and issued a helmet and shield for use as necessary, the KNP riot police are full time. When they're not actively working a civil disturbance, they are training for them. They'll show up in specially equipped busses that have the glass covered by fencing, tear gas, launchers, shotguns, etc. strapped inside. When they stand in formation, every 3rd or 4th one has a fire extinguisher strapped to his back.

They are incredibly efficient, and appropriately aggressive. They have no problem escalating force in response to a crowd. I once saw a demonstrator pitch a lit molotov cocktail at a formation of police. By some quirk, it did not shatter, but skidded along the asphalt coming to rest in front of the formation. One of the KNP picked it up and threw it right back into the crowd where it did shatter. They also seem to have a very large budget for tear gas, and little hesitation using it.

They need short swords.

I believe that move is called the Testudo, or tortoise. The Romans knew how to kick butt when necessary.

Brings to mind the hilarious knighting scene with Danny Kaye in the movie Court Jester.

Pretty cool!

They’re just missing the “war hounds” being unleashed - like about 30 Italian mastiffs. Imagine that coming towards you.

[MuttTheHoople]

Give them a pilum and stabbing spear, and go full Roman Empire on the rioters

Neatly done
