Crowd Control in Argentina. - a photo on Flickriver

Crowd Control in Argentina.

            Like much of the world the use of water Cannons is a go to restraint capability in Argentina. In the UK, such devises are not sanctioned so I guess we either don't have any or they are held back in long term reserve pending a situation that requires a change in policy. 

Unfortunately there seems to be more and more riots, disturbances and heavy handed government responses in many countries worldwide and water cannons are an all too common means of crowd control. Thankfully on our visit to South America, ever though we came across demonstrations we witnesses no escalation or signs of heavy handed authoritarian responses. 

Photographed in the streets of Buenos Aires outside a police station.

Geotag very approximate.
