Police may also feign kettles in order to cause a protest to disperse.

Protests that move quickly are harder to kettle (but are easier to split up as people get left behind). Something important to note is that kettles are used by police to gather intelligence. Police may tell you that you will be allowed to leave if you provide your name and your address, if you give information about other protestors etc. Police can and will lie to you, do not trust them. Never talk to cops. Being trapped in a kettle is stressful. Police may decide to arrest a few of you or all of you. Their goal is to gather information and to demoralize you. They might threaten or harass you. Your goal should be to remain calm and to help the people around you remain calm. Remember if nobody talks, everyone walks.

Hi @dognotman & @13lizardsinatrenchcoat I'm just here to provide an image description for the original post.

[IMAGE ID: A four- panel black, white, and pink comic bordered in black and titled, "How to Spot a Kettle" in bold white letters.

The first panel is a top- down view of black and white buildings, and the black silhouettes of police narrowing in on a crowd of protestors, some holding signs, in pink silhouettes. The caption for this panel reads, "Police may try to surround the march on all sides in a "kettle" ."

The second panel shows more detailed police, drawn in black and white, in riot gear and riot sheilds. They all surround a young Black woman with braids, mostly drawn in black and white but with a hot pink denim jacket. The caption for this panel reads, "If you're kettled, they might hold you there for hours... (They often lie about when they're gonna let you go.)"

The third panel shows police in riot gear forcing a person in a hot pink shirt and socks facedown onto the pavement while they put them in handcuffs. The caption for this panel reads, "...or even arrest everyone. Look out for a prisoner transport bus."

The fourth and final panel shows another top- down view of the protest, this time with the police flanking the protestors in three directions. Behind a row of police in riot gear and riot sheilds is a bus. The caption on this panel reads, "If you see a kettle coming, the safest exit is usually back the way you came." This panel also has some pink lettering details, including a pink arrow that points to the bus saying, "prisoner transport bus", an arrow pointing to the police that says, "police on all sides", and one giant directional arrow pointing in the way the protestors are walking that says, "Turn Around!".

Debbie slays. And Joan Cusack is a QUEEN

Joan Cusack has never appeared in a film that she did not steal.

And as for Debbie, I will always repost my stance on her end.

I’ve said it a million times - if Debbie had listened to what the Addamses were saying in response to her tales of woe, she’s have realized that they understood completely. She had found her people, and was too wrapped up in herself to realize it.
If they could have, they’d have burst from their bonds, hugged the stuffing out of her, bought her a Bentley (and a vintage Ballerina Barbie) and declare her an Addams.
She could spend the rest of her life trying to kill Fester, and he’d love her all the more every time she tried. And the rest would keep offering helpful suggestions. “No point in trying poison, Debbie my dear - he’s been putting strychnine on his cornflakes since was seven”.

When Conrad Wiedell takes Bette Davis and does a Jitterbug, she felt he was holding back in rehearsals and told him to treat her like an experienced dance partner. When the cameras rolled, Wiedell —a national jitterbug champion hired specifically for this dance— pulled out all the stops and swung her around and she fell on her knee. As she finishes her song, she is seen limping out of the nightclub set and leaning against a post, rubbing her knee. This was a real injury, but she finished the song despite the pain. When director David Butler asked Davis to “try it once more”, she replied, “No! No! I said one take, and that was it.”
