Only problem with setting up a parameter is you need to set your officers far enough out the rioters wont target them. This is when the barricades become useful as you can block an area off with out using a ton of officers.

Water cannons??? Firefighters? Seriously?

In the game there is a police water cannon which is used to control crowds. You can't use firefighters.

AHAHA D!^^

I tend to send in two cruisers right off, and a slicktop with SWAT, just in case, and I arrest the 'main dude.' Then I back my officers off a block, while the 'main dude' is bein transported lol

[Tian318]

Why would you arrest random bystanders? Unless they were actively involved , I feel its a waster of resources to arrest and transport them.

I do one of two things in this situation.

1) Completely surround area with barricades. Make a perimeter around the area and dont let anyone in or out. Then, send in a water cannon swat vehicle and
have officers arrest people once they are disoriented by the water. The key is too send all the officers in at once. Say there are 5 people, send in 8 officers, just in case.

then there is option 2...send in a fireplane over the area so it hurts all the protestors and then when the cops go to arrest them, they die if they try to resist. This is the safer method for the officers, but will require lots of medics afterwards

I arrest them,
Because, if you shoot the "leader"

And you send in ems units to safe his sorry ass.
The ems guys will be targeted by the by standers.
And you will have more injured people.
So to be safe i arrest first, and send in ems later on.

[edit]P.S what waste?, 1 suv with 4 officers, place fences, arrest, shoot, ems, done

i usually send in 2 apcs and i start spraying them down then i take my sniper and i shoot all th picketeres and have my mcu come in and take them away"

[randomperson139]

I normally send a SWAT team and arrest the main guy (the one with the sign) and then send the SWAT Team back to base. After the main person is off the map the other protesters normally just walk away.

[racer123246]

Well cant you just take the main dude to the police station too, and then the people break apart?

[Forensics]

I never knew that would work, I'll try it next time.
I usually send out lots of riot police and try to arrest everyone which creates a lot of work.

Any time I have arrested the main leader and transported him back to the station, the group disbands. They do however still show up as orange dots on the map indicting that you need to arrest them as part of the goal.

I always send 2 army trucks with 6 guys each.

Truck A; Uses barricades to block one end of street where group is, 5 form a line with pistols drawn while one holds flashbang

Truck B; Uses barricades to block opposite end of street, all 6 line up.

(Now for the timing!)

I get each guy from truck 'B' to arrest one person - While they are running down the street I use the flashbang so that when they arrive all the protesters are dazed.

Since each truck can carry 5 (or is it 6?) civi's, you can easily clear the whole place in roughly 2 minutes.

I've been saving/loading my freeplay game forlike 4 reals days in a row, so far only 2 game days passed on normal speed. So far I only had one of these events; but I'll use this advice next time, so thanks... I guess

The key is to get to it fast.
Once you start having them throwing fire about, it turns nasty.
