Kettling people who are blocking roads is not one of those great ideas, and beating people up surrounded by tourists and cameras in the centre of town isn’t a great idea either.
The thing is that there isn’t a lot they can do right now apart from remove people. What I think will happen is increased attempts at intimidation via legal threats, personal targeting and punitive sentences (at some point) and also attempts to restrict movement and assembly, though the latter is difficult and can never be very effective. (ETA: see the post from the netpol guy on the last page.)

If you want to block things, block car parks. Every one, same night as the cctv gets done.
Is it just me or does this Extinction Rebellion thing come across as rather culty?

Mate. This is the big student protest at Parliament Square. There was both kettling and caving people's heads in. The protesters will get the gentle treatment - until they don't.

So, would it be reasonable to assume there ought to be a proportion that are "veterans" and thus should be able to draw upon the lessons of the past as this develops?
