For the first time ever, I can honestly say, we, as Americans, are far behind. If the Peruvians can turn Robocop into an army full of anti-riot police, why can’t we?
The government really needs to turn to Hollywood on some occasions. Since robotic-looking police or other types of defenders always have the advantage in Hollywood, it’s a no-brainer that if you increase the size of the units, they are unstoppable. But noooooo, now we have South American countries that any American on a McDonald’s salary could live like a king in, making us look like pussies.
Issues like these should be at the forefront of the next election.

When a large number of people get together, for example at sport events or politic gatherings, they are very touchy feely and can quickly turn into mass-hysteric, panic driven force that flips cars in minutes, brakes windows and stampeeds. Only thing that can control the mass at that point is another force. Preferably a trained, qualified force of police or other enforcement officers.
The claim that people only riot because the riot police is there provocating them, is rubbish.
