So I signed up to play as a rioter for O.O.P Riot Training tomorrow.
Found out you get to throw bricks at them.
Found out that I should expect to be grabbed, thrown down, hand cuffed and carried off when they catch me.
Found out someone broke their hand last year charging at an officer with a riot shield then punching it.
every one else who signed up is super /fit. How well long will I last?
How long will I last? *
That sounds fun.
How long you last depends less on you and more about how they deal with crowd control. If people stand back throwing shit they're probably just going to maintain a line like a shield wall if they know how to use them in a group. If people run at their lines and get through they'll probably get restrained pretty fast. If you get winded running up to the line with a bunch of people and they run away you'll probably get snagged.
did they say if they're going to be throwing diluted tear gas or mace or something? if they do expect you'll get hit with that then they'll wait a bit for everyone to calm down and start gathering them up. Otherwise they'll probably just wait till people tire themselves out and pick off whoever they can grab.

Whore.

You sound dumb. If the system didn't work you'd be fucked on your own.

I was watching videos on how the O.O.P handles crowds and they go full medieval on their asses. They would make it look like they are just holding the line. Then would step to their sides and the officers behind the front line race out and charge the crowd trying to grab anyone they can. Then the police line runs up and creates a new line in front of the officers who caught someone. So the people rioting lose some ground and officers gain some ground well maintaining a strong line.

Cool I always wondered how that worked trying to nab someone and keep a line. Seems like their major objective is just keeping control of the area behind them and dealing with people in front mostly to make them disperse and not get past that area.
If you know to look for when they make gaps like that I would hang out near someone that looks tired and might get grabbed and try to sneak past a gap there then run around behind them and try to make a distraction.

How much does it pay?
>>28002013
Looks fun, record it for us
>>28002407
altho if I were gonna try something like that I'd wear thicker clothes like jeans and a hoody and put on knee/elbow pads under it

Yeah its intense. 50+ people signed up and i don't know how many officers there will be. I know my tactic is going to be stay behind the big tough guys who will want to be face to face with them and just book it as fast as i can the other way when i see the front line all make a move. From what i hear its exactly that. Riot police are trained to pretty much be a movable wall that is made to block off an area the size of a street. Make it so the people rioting can't move forward.

Its volunteering so nothing but how many people get to say they got to do something like this so i thought why not?
>>28002616
It is taking every bone in my body not to dress up as a roman legionary for this.

I'm bringing my gopro and chest mount.
Need some heavy metal music for a good edit

>Make it so the people rioting can't move forward.
Yeah buddy, training wise it's good if you can mess it up. When I do training stuff sometimes I learn a lot more when we make mistakes and have to redo stuff or fix some random error. I wouldn't try to run backward if they make a mistake and you can get pass go forward, you're going to get caught but it's exactly what they don't want to happen so it's about dragging it out and make getting caught a really big issue for them.

I don't think taking a go pro to getting beaten up is a good idea,they might destroy it
