    no doubt, i just think the angle grinder is the kind of tool most diy people would either already have or could make use of whereas a bolt cutter is basically just single purpose

    also whether they see the sparks or not, other than gas/mist they're not going to be able to do anything about it from the other side of the barriers - beanbag rounds are useless and tazers aren't going through that mesh

      Yes it's the most useless riot fence ever constructed. It does provide a few options though:

      1. Pepper spray. Bring a gas mask and sealed eye wear.
      2. Pepper shot balls, wear a canvas layer or just something thick as well as having the above.
      3. Water guns.

      If you're prepped for 1 and 2 you're fine.

      The 4th option is the directional heat gun, I haven't got a counter to that thing yet but deploying it safely isn't exactly easy for them either.
