Indeed. The 'they don't know where to go, as they can't get to Google Maps' also doesn't ring true - if the police are arriving, I suggest most people would move away from the police, whether they can get to Google maps or not.
Odds on the police would use "kettle" tactics, so there would be nowhere to go away from them.
It's not true, it hasn't happened.
Yet.
I believe the Met. are using that much less now, since the whole fiasco with the G20 protests in 2009.
Its a flash mob, not a protest. The police would likely ask the mob to forest the area, as
