Riot Suppression

[The Narexian Socialist States]

How do you deal with riots in your nation?
Do they often fall under the catagory of "Bloodbaths"?
Are the people too happy... or drugged, f***ed up to riot?
How often, if at all are there riots?

[Neuvonan]

If the riots don't involve vandelism, violence, law breaking, they are perfectly acceptable. If they do how ever, include violence, vandelise, or break other laws then the rioters and everybody breaking laws there will be arrested, stopped, and face punishment.

[Niene]

No, we're used to riots. We, however, refer to them as protests.
Unless they are violent, everyone tends to ignore them, including the police - if they get violent, then we send in the army and the protesters disperse quickly.

[One Malaysia]

As a matter of fact, we do have riots and streets demonstrations back in Malaysia. In case the most recent one was only a few days ago.

The police usually deploy masked riot control unit to restore peace, subsequent use of tear gas and water cannon is also used.

[The Cookish States]

Police are not allowed to shoot until they feel threatened. Once one fires...they generally all do.
We had one protest we didn't shut down with gunfire though. It was a thing for blind pregnant women.
Thos Bigtopians though...we kill them by the hundred.

[Albilstania]

Keeping order through military presence and surveillance

its the albilstanian way

Mounted Police with clubs.
Do they often fall under the catagory of "Bloodbaths"?

Yes

Nope
How often, if at all are there riots?

Daily.

[Victorious Decepticons]

How do you deal with riots in your nation? Any such thing would be met with a combination of the Military and random passers-by who decided to start blasting the lousy rebs.

Do they often fall under the category of "Bloodbaths"? If they happened, that would be a fairly accurate descriptor. Of course, for us it'd be a bath of coolant and motor oil.

Are the people too happy... or drugged, f***ed up to riot? No, they're too *smart* to think that causing massive, yet random, destruction would get any kind of good response out of our government!

How often, if at all are there riots? Never. Even those with inferior logic chips still have their survival instinct coding, so mass-suicide-by-military doesn't happen.

Yeah pretty much this.

Usually though, "riots" will classify as violence, intent to do harm, or at the very least disorderly conduct and intentional chaos.

Protests, which are peacefully and law abiding are perfectly legal and will not be stopped, no matter what they are protesting. Provincial Police will be present at both protests and riots however, just in case.

[Saiwania]

When a riot happens, riot police are sent out. Followed by smoke grenades and rubber bullets. It is forcefully broken up and suppressed if it is unjustly disturbing the peace or violating private property rights.

[Comrade Commisar]

All riots are met with brute force. Mostly through the force of Main Battle Tanks and Anthrax Gas, luring people into "Areas of Civil Peace". All media is surpressed so people usually forget the incident the next day.

[Lackadaisical2]

Depends on how violent and out of control they are.

Generally we attempt to prevent them from obstructing the flow of traffic if they are occupying a street. If this cannot be achieved attempted to box them in and arrest those unwilling to disperse quietly will ensue. If extreme violence or fires break out then the crack down will be merciless with the army or police using any level of force necessary to stop the criminals, with care taken not to harm those ready to surrender (or bystanders).

[YellowApple]

Protests that pose no threat to the safety of persons or property are dealt with only by the departments whose operation is being obstructed (for example, the Department of Transportation may issue fines for blocking roadways).

Protests that do pose a threat to the safety of persons or property are dealt with by the use of capsaicin grenades, rubber bullets, beanbag rounds, and spider silk detainment nets.

Riots are rare in YellowApple, as they are generally too dangerous to perform in comparison to other non-violent methods of protest.

[Bulgharia]

Riots were smashed and crushed before, during Zhivkov regime. You can look at the civil rights protests in Bulgharia. Otherwise, such thing will probably be forbidden after the elections.

Nevertheless, Gendarmerie used only truncheons and tear gas, with a few fighting bullets for larger protests

[Gilfersgrad]

Riots do not exist in the Great and Holy Empire on Earth of Gilfersgrad: those who would dare think of rioting or protesting or even just complaining about the mandatory three-and-a-half-hour prayer to Gilfer Almighty that must be performed twice per Day every Day are struck by lightning and their charred corpses thrown into the Chucapabra Forests to keep them satiated.

[Boehem]

The police in Boehem have no tolerance for public disorder. Riots, while rare, are dispersed with alarming efficiency.

Water cannons, tear gas and rubber bullets are used generously.

[Shanix]

Riots are dealt with as any other foe would be dealt with. Swift and brutal military action. We do not stand for those who would destabilize our great and powerful nation.

^^THIS! We are EXTREMELY generous with the rubber bullets. Even if it means we have to bust out the rubber cannister rounds for a couple of these damn things (D-20 152.4mm howitzer!):

Riots are ALWAYS extremely violent in The Narexian Socialist States since rioters almost always show up heavily armed. Sometimes, foreign media says that the situation "Has broken out into all-out civil war..." but these events have not been quite THAT bad. Our citizens just sometimes love a good brawl. Usually, no less than 100 die and thousands, if not... tens of thousands are injured. Most seriously. Many outsiders love to claim that the police are "Extraordinarily brutal to the point that they kill their own." which is certainly NOT true. We try to preserve life and limb but unfortunately, the situation may not allow. Also, prison riots are ALWAYS deadly unfortunately. There have been only a few riots which did not result in at least one death, sad to say.

[Episarta]

We don't usually have riots since the people usually don't have that much to riot about. Except maybe democracy, but why trust the masses? But whenever we do have the occasional riot, they are usually put down harshly. Bullets (if necessary) stabbing weapons,clubs, shields, arrests (occasionally) and so on. So if the poeple get too far out of line, we either beat them down or kill them outright. But as previously said, there isn't too much for them to be unhappy about.

[Newmanistan]

A bullet will stop the rioter.
A second bullet will make sure of it.

Simple quick and effective.

[Hippostania]

Riots are illegal, protests are not. Protestors however have to obtain a permit from the nearest police station one week in advance. If there is any sign of vandalism, the police will break up the protest and arrest as many people as they can, usually everyone.
