Chicago police video shows 'ambush' of officers at Grant Park Columbus statue, authorities say
A young protester was also punched by one of the officers
Chicago's top cop said his officers were ambushed during violent clashes between protesters and police last week near a statue of Christopher Columbus as objects were hurled at officers during heated confrontations between the groups.
Police Superintendent David Brown said his department has faced "organized actions to provoke violent responses from our officers" during a Monday news briefing where a video of Friday's events at Grant Park was released.
He said peaceful demonstrations spanning several weeks have been hijacked by what he called "organized mobs."

Ouch. I used to hate stepping on my sister's metal jacks in stocking feet as a kid
The problem with those is once engaged, there is little control as to movement of the "line"... You certainly don't want to fall victim to your own trap... Lol
Just get out the long sticks, start beating them back. Have rapid response teams in vans and buses ready to close off an area, use the construction netting like the Republicans National Convention tactic used in NYshitty... wouldn't be hard to close down an area quick enough to sweep up hundreds and make a point. Sweep em all up! One bottle thrown, if you're in the crowd, you're going down too. Too bad snowflake, let the judge sort it out! Do it a few times, leave that shit taste in their mouths when they're sitting in holding waiting their turn for a week or so. It'll distemper the mob!
Look at Portland, they coddled the miscreants, and now what? It has only gotten worse.
I'm all for 1A... But enough is enough! Point has been made and recieved! Close it up, shit it down!

Well, it true you need to train to know what your doing. You dont want to drive over your own minefields either The Romans were experts in formation warfare. Those caltrops could stop a Calvary charge dead in its tracks ,literally.

This is bullshit and none of these assholes will be punished for any of this. None of them will be found out and this was a large coordinated attack and IMO terrorism. Bring in the big guns at this pint and fucking squash this bullshit. These cops sitting there should have been authorized to use any force necessary to get out of that situation up to and including deadly physical force. They were behind a wall and did nothing to deserve this. This was a full frontal attack by these shitbags. They deserve anything they get. Don’t want to get hurt or shot then don’t be part of a coordinated attack. If I rob and kill someone and you’re standing next to me your just as guilty as I am in the eyes of the law. Same applies here.

You do not want to disperse the crowd.
Treating the crowd as one unit is exactly what they want.
You need to identify the instigators, isolate them and arrest them. Then you need to charge them with the real crimes they committed and them lock them up for a long time.
No pepper balls or water cannons. Just flexicuffs and years in prison.
To do this you need a DA that is on board. If your DA is on the side of the protestors, you should just stay home, none of your "crowd control" techniques are going to be effective anyway.
