Crowd Control Tactics

Unregistered · 03-26-2021, 05:30 PM

During the 2004 economic summit in Miami-Dade County, MDPD personnel utilized a former fire department aviation engine (water turrets mounted on the top) to control crowds in an effective and non lethal manner. The water stream was not aimed directly at the protestors, but rather sprayed over their heads so that they received a thorough drenching. Nothing is more demoralizing nor uncomfortable as to be soaked and have your valuable cell phones, cameras and other valuables ruined.

Has anyone in the command structure of the Miami Beach PD thought of this as an additional crowd control tactic?

2004 is not 2021.

Times have changed and Balls have gotten smaller in the world of Policing.

If the Chief would have used the Memorial Day Plan we wouldn’t of had to use pepper balls. But our chief told the City that we could handle by turning everyone’s life upside down for 8 weeks. Your water cannon idea is one step under bringing in a helicopter and sand blasting the crowd. Why our Chief decided not to use a proven plan will go down as the most incompetent decision in the history of the MBPD. But Pauly O will protect him from a Vote of no Confidence. Just ask yourself do you have confidence in this Chief? I don’t anyone that does other than the Slumber party Chief.

The Chief needs to retire.

Actually, when the 2015 migration crisis had 1 million migrants decend on and running thru Europe towards Germany, only Hungary was able to handle the surprise situation. They fenced areas immediately off limits, contained the crowd in fact with water spraying. It wasn't a city block party it was a crisis they stopped at their borders. People had no choice but to turn back. They were wet, hungry, and tired. They weren't getting thru the limits.
