**new police anti-lock on kit**

the police have used what we believe to be new kit, against locked-on protestors

Merseyside police have used a van fully equipped for protestors who are locked-on. We saw them use stuff against D-locks, but clearly visible was the kit they had for dealing with tripods. They had been well trained, and had a 'textbook' process of questions and procedures. This is a new development, and as far as we know, new in the UK. Please share any experiences of other regions. Maybe it's in response to G8, maybe in response to national Sainsbury's blockades, who knows. Whatever, it's damn annoying!
