The exercise, said the Department, was meant to bolster police deterrence and enhance the officers' ability to handle complex situations
Well, I think it was effective in deterring the police alright.

"The police are not here to create disorder. The police are here to preserve disorder" comes to mind.

"rioters" apparently used excessive force"
So in a real riot, they would only use moderate force?

The rioters, however, were already in top form.
Maybe they should just swap sides with the real rioters?

Should have worn the riot gear instead of the practice-drill gear.
