It might be more to do with the fact there have been many reports around the world of water cannons causing permanent eye damage. Not quite as bad as rubber bullets, but unacceptable nonetheless. (I'm not a bleeding heart, BTW, but you can't just indiscriminately blast a crowd with something that could cause life-changing injuries)

Always thought a torrential rain setting would be useful to just drench angry mobs without risking injury. Genuinely.

Completing the census...
I have a wonderful image of an angry mob shrugging their shoulders and wandering away because their socks are soggy ?. That would be so British.

If protesters attack the police who have a water cannon and they use it, tough.

Just done it. Actually very easy. Was pleasantly surprised that a government website being used by most of the country on a single day didn't fall over.
In fact, I find all of the GOV.UK online services that I've used very well designed and easy to use. Anyone know which company builds them?

How about giving the police machine guns? Would that be ok? If not, where do you draw the line as to what level of force is acceptable?

Minimum force, in this case, a soaking.
If you atteack the police who have a water canon, what do you expect them to do?
If the protesters can't stand getting wet, go home.
Machine guns kill, water makes you wet.
