    In the USAF, we did crowd control and riot training every year. Lesson 1: Your mere presence has the potential to escalate the situation.

        @JimmySky Interesting. The USMC's presence deescalates the situation.

        I've been privy to several bar fights that offer a counterpoint. MT @StetsonAdam: Interesting. The USMC's presence deescalates the situation

        @JimmySky the quick end WAS the deescalation!

        @JimmySky Wow really? What was your job? I don't remember anything like that in the MC.

        @MickNcLean It was probably a function of being Security Forces (aka USAF Military Police). Other MOS's didn't do that training.

      @JimmySky @AmyOtto8 That's only because the Air Force is about as hardcore as the Girl Scouts ;)

      @JimmySky @GameDesignDan Odd how it is a lose/lose situation if presence and lack of presence both can potentially escalate

      @JimmySky @emilylhauser One of my fears seeing actual soldiers doing riot/crowd control. Thankfully the German constitution forbids this.
