Fair points, thanks for explaining!They already drafted in PSU (riot officers) from 3 forces-that should tell you how stretched they were.
Secondly, pepper spray would be useless.
But even more so, where do all the detainees go? My force has about 60 cells-no doubt Merseyside have more but by no means enough to literally round everyone up.
To arrest one violent prisoner can take 4/6 officers plus transport in secure vans..very soon you have nobody on the streets and everyone in queues in custody.
They will be nicked over the next days.
