    I'm not asking them to open fire into a peaceful crowd inindiscriminately am I? I'm saying if it kicked off and they started burning buildings and looting like the US BLM riots, then I wouldn't be opposed to the use of the rounds.

      the demonstrations in the u.s. were largely peaceful aside from police violence. a ransacked Target is not worth the police running people over or blinding them with rubber bullets
