I've seen videos of the Police (bobbies) in action during crowd control. Some incredible skill, and frankly guts, charging into crowds and some really skilled equestrian work in some less than ideal circumstances. One of the constants seems to be strong reliance and skill with night sticks. From what I've seen it's hit first and ask questions later. Better that than what we experience here in the US when "peaceful protests occur" and they burn down entire city blocks while the police the watch helplessu

I can't understand why the same skill is not exhibited the minute a pitch invader strikes. I'm not talking about a crowd charging after a big win. I'm talking about the "protester' or drunken knob that interrupts a match. why don't they beat him half to death with nightsticks and make an example of him/her? it's going to get worse before it get's better.
