Our police used live ammo on the Marikana miners.

@Lochlee Yeah, there have been a fair few examples of live ammo being used on rioters in modern history. Some very recent. I wouldn't ever say it's a good thing, but it does certainly put down the riot.

@UndeadPrivateer well it put an end to that riot.

Free beer. I mean, who's going to fight when there's free beer available?!

Depends on the reason for the riot

@Tallie because everyone wants pepsi and boobies.
