Riot Suppression

[Old Beringia]

How do you deal with riots in your nation? The Guardian Corps are brought out and demand the subjects to disperse and wait to be arrested and or fined, which is to intentionally piss the rioters off further but they may comply. If they don't comply a countdown will be started from five and the Guardian Corpsmen will begin firing upon the rioters with lethal rounds, the same stuff of war. If you want to behave like a damn savage a join in on the flagrant stupidity you risk your life. You call yourself Beringian, then damn it act like it.

Do they often fall under the category of "Bloodbaths"? After the first few times the Empire's zero tolerance policies were employed riots stopped happening all together. So no.

Are the people too happy... or drugged, f***ed up to riot? They value their lives.

How often, if at all are there riots? Not anymore. Last one was 11 years ago.

[Imeriata]

Charging the main body of the rioters with cavalry while infantry moved in at the flanks to either hunt down or cut of the smaller formations of rioters when the cavalry have dispersed the larger groups.

[Conoga]

Violent riots are met with violence.

Otherwise, nothing is done.

[D-16]

Riots are almost non-existant, but the few rare ones that do occur from humans are usually shut down with heavy machine gun fire and poisonous gases...

AIs on the other hand, attempting to riot, are a little trickier, the clever ones able to sneak around fire walls and other defenses to make a statement to the world...The Sentinel AIs are usually more clever, however, and no real damage has occured because of the rapid speed of the Sentinels.

[Karmaimps]

So long as there is no criminal activity the riots are usually ignored and the protestors do not accomplish anything they are told that they are an annoyance at the most and are given the suggestion that they should contact there local Noble family and share there concerns and grievances with them.

[Maraque]

We have multiple avenues for people to express their grievances without causing damage to personal property and harm to people - both of which are serious crimes, and the people's pacifistic nature means that they do not generally believe that violence solves anything, and in fact makes it worse.

In the rare instances that riots do erupt, authorities are called to contain the violence in as little an area as possible, and to attempt to disperse or calm the crowd. Generally though, rioters are left alone while police standby to arrest those who do cause harm to people and personal property, and don't think even if you escape arrest at the time you won't be arrested later - more likely than not, a camera will catch you.

Riots are rare - the last riot was earliest this year after the results of the Cuerakian secession vote failed to meet the required voter turnout - and although it was a small riot in comparison to others, it did cause significant damage in parts of the borough. Some 80 people were arrested and charged as a result. The last riot before that was in 1973.

[Bengalai]

There are no riotes - the people are too indoctrinated, and the slaves are under a very tight rein, so they can't riot

[Yvenia]

As long as the protests do not threaten the lives of our citizens or the structural integrity of their property, we allow marches to continue. However, if the protests turned violent and present a clear threat to the Yvenian Kah'ranate, the Yvenian Royal Army is responsible for dispersing and arresting the leaders of any riot. As with every other civilized nation, we have a defined boundary between a protest and a riot, the latter being the former with violence, vandalism, and terrorism in the mix.

[AWESOME321]

We have had a few. We usually just start shooting rioters and they usually stop pretty quick.

[Ruskarkand]

We use this 100 ton giant, the ATLAS-II Walker.

Product shown is running combat trial in test environment.

If a riot breaks out, we deploy two of these vehicles commonly, and the riots seem to fade away in an instant.
Of course, modern systems ensure that no damage is dealt to the ground due to highly developed Suspension systems.
The vehicle is armed with Teargas tubes primarily, as well as a sound projector that can produce intense, cripplingly loud sounds.

Oh, and it also strikes fear into the hearts of those who it engages.

[IndependentCanada]

First we send Tanks to run over as many rioters as they can. Then riot police start blowing off heads with KS-3s. Finally, a few thousand Cobra Attack Helicopters clean up the remnants. As you can see there has been only two Riots in our history.

[Savski Venac]

Since the civil war Savski Venac is a peacefull country but we do have riots in Umbria.
We have a strong police force so everyone that was in the riot is arrested and needs to pay the duble of the price of the damage that he is done

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

If the riots don't involve vandelism, violence, law breaking, they are perfectly acceptable.

That is practically the definition of a riot.

Anyway, ours are pretty awful, so we have to bring out tear gas, smoke grenades, riot police, and armoured APCs with padded bulldozer blades to push people out of the way.

[Arivali]

We've had a few protests over unpopular laws, but it generally remains peaceful. As long as it doesn't get out of control nothing is done. The only exception to this is religious protesters. This is because being offensive and waving signs telling people who don't hold your point of view they're going to hell is illegal and not tolerated.

When a protest needs to be stopped the police go in and try to arrest the offenders in a civilized manner. If they resist and become too unruly, deadly force can be used at the officers' discretion. If a full destructive riot ever did break out, I would probably go straight to deadly force.

[Katonazag]

The HCSK has freedom of speech, and freedom to assemble peaceably. However, permits may be required if streets and buildings are to be blocked; this is for the safety of the protesters, motorists, and occupants of buildings.

That being said, in the event of a lawful protest turns into a riot, citizens have a duty to disperse and leave the area. They are to visibly distinguish themselves from those who choose to use violence against persons and property by placing both hands openly in the air as they walk away from the violence, and the police will not touch or in any way harass them as they leave. That is, unless they have probable cause that the individual person was participating in the violence, or otherwise committed a misdemeanor or felony. So, in other words, if people want to sustain a protest, they won't riot, because a riot means the protest is over - people then have the choice to either voluntarily leave on their own in a peaceful manner to show their innocence, or fail to disperse and get arrested.

People actively participating in the riot are another matter. Law enforcement officers in the HCSK are generally only required to tell a person one time to put down a weapon or object that makes a useful weapon; after that, deadly force is authorized if they fail to follow instructions. An unarmed riot participant is likewise given one order to surrender to law enforcement. Failure to comply may be met with any level of less-than-lethal force that the officer feels is necessary to apprehend the rioter. However, even if rioters are unarmed, deadly force can become authorized if it appears that an individual officer or group of officers may be numerically or tactically overwhelmed.

Federal military forces are not authorized for use against rioters unless the riot is on a federal military post. However, state and local militias may be used to suppress a riot at the direction and order of the governor or mayor, respectively.

[Saurisisia]

They are quickly and brutally suppressed before they get out of hand. Peaceful protests are allowed, but not riots. When a riot begins to take place, riot police, SP Elite troops, National Militiamen, and even Army soldiers are sent in, using whatever force is necessary, be it lethal or non.

Just say "fuck it" to the infrastructure and how much it would cost just to deploy that thing.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

Protesting is not a crime in Minoa but rioting is a public order offence. On a side note, tear gas and water cannons aren't used in Minoa anymore. It was first phased out in Athens in 2002, during the Partition of Greece due, to peaceful protest concerns.

For starters, this is not a debate thread.
Keep your arguments to yourself, if you feel the need to vent your rage at mechs, there is an old thread for arguments that I am sure you can revive it for such a purpose.
Now is not the time, now is not the place, this is a thread for 'Riot Suppression', my post contributed, whilst yours only aimed to derail the thread.

I feel like we can end this here.
Good day.

[Lelf]

They are tolerated, provided they dont get violent. If they do, law enforcement steps in.

We'll aren't we confrontational? No where in that post did I comment about how infeasible and idiotic mechs are or aim to derail the thread. I was merely commenting on the lack of practicality in deploying a mech that, from the looks of it, damage the street and would be economically wasteful just to scare off a few rioters. No debating, just stating facts.

I guess that in these kinds of thread we're just supposed to state what happens in our nations and not engage in any sort of discussion.

[Chernobyl-Pripyat]

The men in the blue or grey camouflage suits arrive with tear gas, batons, bean bag shells and rubber bullets. This is the same response to a large protest, but due to the former's tendency to throw things, they often are there to kick ass and chew bubble gum.

If things get way out of hand, regional Interior Troops are called in to suppress civil unrest in support of the men in blue suits.
