	For some grim future police speculation take a look at "Jagged Orbit"
(?) by John Brunner.  In this future streets have a special "riot lane" surrounded by concrete walls just so police can get around without hindrance.  Rioting 
gets so bad sometimes they call in a "LR" , a last resort strike, which means 
they completely wipe out a city block with an airstrike.  There are also neigh-
bourhood militias who practice armed defence of their block.  Can't remember 
much more than that (like what the story was).
