Guide to Public Order Situations

  

 

G20 protesters circulated detailed pamphlets advising people on how to win street battles against riot police and what to do if arrested. 

One document, called "Guide to Public Order Situations", explains how to breach lines of riot police using a "snow plough" human formation; throw rape alarms to make it hard for the police to give orders; resist baton and horse charges using nets; and "de-arrest" seized protesters.

Although the guide is a bit dated (2009) and written from a UK perspective, it still offers valuable advice on standing against police lines.
