If FEMA promotes kettling, then maybe they should pay more attention to the TTPs and EOF of people who attempt to win hearts and minds in even more dangerous situations, outside CONUS. Cattlemen would say "don't crowd a mob", because stampedes don't make anyone's life better. [1] seems like a reasonable document. have the problematic police departments attended the course? 2.d.(11) Use low-profile tactics. Don't become the focus of the demonstration. 3.i ... establish escape routes so protesters can safely leave the area. Annex A 10 and 12 (case studies) may be of interest.

- alistairSH 6y agoI assumed that was the point of linking. The military is trained to avoid settling. The military is prohibited from using tear gas. Why are our police allowed those tactics and weapons, when we know they're not appropriate?
