featuring this gem in the comments section:
Why did the Police decide to use kettling tactics?
This tactic, what I thought the police were reviewing, more often than not enflames rather than defuses.
I note that Police spokespersons were very quickly on the mike warning the Govt that any reduction in police numbers would make them less able to deal with street disturbances. The students were kettled in front of a poorly police defended Tory Milbank.
Coincidence?
