Do you think there's any chance of avoiding riots at any of those things that the professional protesters show up for?

I could be wrong but I am pretty sure not every economic summit has a riot.
I don't recall the last time a riot was averted.

What's kooky about asking the Met Police to look into it?  It's a serious allegation.

As reported in the posted news story, the allegations are not comprehensible - which IMO is an essential pre-requisite to being taken seriously.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.
