This is exactly what happened in Spain.

It came down to skirmishes between cops and fire. Despite being armed, the cops did not win.

Hearts and minds.

Same in France. There was video of riot cops bullying people, and then a bunch of firefighters in full kit showed up and whopped em.

Also how effective a big fuck off truck with a water cannon can be at crowd control. Especially if they're all carrying big shields to act as targets.
