Kettling the Cops. Sukey: A tool for non-violent demonstrations. How to win at kettling – a guide for non-policemen. During the second half of 2010 an exciting and physically challenging new urban sport broke out of the sub-cultures and into the big time.
Kettling, once the preserve of climate activists, anarchists and anti-fascists, took the student world by storm throughout the winter, and is now set to hit the mainstream in 2011 with trade-unionists, benefit claimants, evictees, the disabled and anyone else who gives a flying fuck about their fellow human beings all set to get involved.

Well, first you'll need to split into two teams – attackers and defenders.

What's going on? Inside the anti-kettling HQ. Cairo, it wasn't.
But at about a quarter to four last Saturday afternoon, on a crowded backstreet in central London, something happened outside the Egyptian embassy that deserves at least a footnote in the annals of protest history. A crowd of students weren't kettled. In the context of recent British protests, this was a near-miracle. At each of the previous four major student protests in London since the Millbank riot on 10 November, police have kettled – or, in their terminology, "contained" – thousands of protesters, preventing them from leaving an area for several hours, and often from accessing basic amenities such as food, water and toilets. Police kettle protesters supposedly to quell violence, but protesters arguably only turn to violence out of frustration at being kettled. Doctorow: Inside Sukey the anti-kettling mobile app. The Guardian's Patrick Kingsley has a great look at the story behind Sukey, a networked tool that helps protestors in London avoid police "kettles" (when police illegally corral protestors, passers-by and residents into a small area and detain them for hours without access to food, toilets, or medicine).
Sukey was used for the first time on Saturday's protests against anti-cuts march in London, and for the first time in recent history, protestors avoided kettling (their counterparts in Manchester and Edinburgh -- who don't have Sukey yet -- weren't so lucky). I keep trying to put myself in the cops' shoes and imagining what I would do to defeat Sukey. I think throwing a lot more cops at the kettle (to make it harder to escape the cordon as it tightens) would go some way toward this, and of course, they could try to shut down mobile connectivity and/or jam WiFi in central London, but I don't think that the public would be too happy about that.
