If it kicks off later this year expect to see this decision reversed sharpish, I'm not entirely convinced it wasn't taken to make Boris look foolish and dent his chances of taking the top job instead of a purely public interest decision, water cannon are far less likely to cause injury than the current options available.
Same when the miners were on strike oop norf. Cops drafted in from all over the place.

I too think there's some politicking going on here but I may be being too cynical...
