Skid steer modified into riot control vehicle

The Bozena Riot, a skid steer cleverly modified into a riot control vehicle. GIF plus pics and video below, and a link to download the brochure, in case you're in the market for one.

This corralling type of riot control is called "kettling". It's sometimes a bit controversial, but, among limited options, it's often a decent strategy for containing protests that turn violent. Usually it involves a combination of mesh snow fencing, plus a tightly-formed line of police carrying shields and walking back a crowd while rioters throw rocks and glass bottles at them.

This next photo reminds me of walking through a doorway while trying to prevent a couple of dogs from escaping.

Remotely-operated, with armored video cameras up front.

Great GIF of it in action. There are a lot of viral videos of "peaceful" protests gone awry on the web these days. I'd love to see this beauty make an appearance in one of them.
