"Today's plan involves in multiple marches entering the financial district from different directions. The first is underway."
NYPD consulted with City of London Police in the last few years to develop a kettling technique to stop all forms of marches that are not of the “proper type of poodle marching”...
called kettling, a bunch of grad students in London developed a free software platform that is anonymized P2P mobile that allows live updates through social media to create anti-kettling amrch plans.
NYPD is not prepared for this, and quite frankly, it’s not possible to stop a dozen plus marches coming from 15+ locations in Manhattan/Brooklyn today.
This is the UK version, there is a separate NYC app on anonymized local P2P adhoc netowrking right now.
Sukey - Keeping demonstrators safe, mobile & informed.
Sukey is a web app that is designed to keep people safe, mobile and informed during demonstrations. We crowdsource updates from twitter and other online and offline sources in order to provide our users with a timely overview of what is going on at a demonstration. We also provide our users with a map view, a compass view and the ability to send us reports and updates through the app itself.
