Civil Disobedience Training Exercises

From WSVN in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale we have this story about law enforcement training for civil disobedience events that get out of control (click title for video)
Broward County Sheriff's Office deputies and other law enforcement agencies took part in a civil disturbance training event Wednesday.

Along with BSO, five other area agencies -- including the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, Davie Police, Sunrise Police, Margate Police and Miramar Police -- took part in the training that took place at Central Broward Regional Park.

Officials believe the training is completely necessary, especially with recent events. "These drills and this training is critically important," said Broward Sheriff Scott Israel, "because if we have an incident like Ferguson, it's probable that many agencies are going to be working together to resolve the issue. Riots are going to spread over different towns and communities, so that exchange in the interoperability becomes critically important."
