New York police anti-riot units assembled last week at a training facility on Randall’s Island to prepare for an outbreak of civil unrest similar to those that have occurred recently in Britain...The riot training was held just days after the New York City Police...announced the formation of a new “juvenile justice unit”...to troll Internet social media sites like Facebook and Twitter in search of any indication of impending disturbances.
