Explication de la vidéo par The Intercept :

Millions of Americans took to the streets to protest police violence following the murder of George Floyd last year — and in some instances, they were met with violent crackdowns.

Across the country, videos of police officers attacking peaceful protesters began surfacing on social media.

Using tear gas, rubber-tipped bullets, bicycles, and batons, police officers deployed an arsenal of so-called less-than-lethal weapons to suppress protests and disperse crowds.

But what happens when police unleash these weapons and leave people no path to escape?

In at least a dozen instances last summer — in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago, and Seattle — police used a controversial crowd control strategy known to protesters and civil rights advocates as “kettling.” The tactic consists of officers surrounding protesters, trapping them in the streets with no clear way out, sometimes for hours, often before tear-gassing, beating, and arresting them en masse.

Law enforcement officials usually refer to this tactic as “corralling,” “containment,” or “encirclement” — not kettling. And some police departments have denied that they deploy this tactic at all.

One particularly brutal example of kettling took place last year in Charlotte, North Carolina, where law enforcement officers trapped hundreds of protesters between buildings and lines of cops before assaulting them with pepper balls, flash-bang grenades, and tear gas.

This video shows a reconstruction, produced in collaboration with SITU Research, that places video evidence in the context of a 3D digital model of the urban environment to gain a better understanding of the sequence of events that transpired that evening.

Le nom « Kettle » = marmite ou bouilloire

pour mieux rendre compte de cette technique déjà appliquée par la #flicaille française et désormais bien connue, je propose « nasse ».
