re: Riot control

I do whatever NOLA cops in the quarter during Mardi Gras in the early 2000s did.

My dad always said before I went out in Nola “whatever they say you respond yes sir and do it. If not they will beat you arse.”

They kept massive crowds under control very well.

They did this with a different approach adopted in the 80s-90s when drinking age was 18. They put paddy wagons every couple of blocks in the FQ and along parade routes.
They came up with a brilliant plan to simply arrest ANYONE who even talks back to them in a disrespectful tone.
