a study would emerge that mirrors as a reflective tool are a proven deterrent of riot police

That seems to be a rather high bar to set for a rather poetic act. I take it you also do not trust parachutes.

As with many interventions intended to prevent ill health, the effectiveness of parachutes has not been subjected to rigorous evaluation by using randomised controlled trials. Advocates of evidence based medicine have criticised the adoption of interventions evaluated by using only observational data. We think that everyone might benefit if the most radical protagonists of evidence based medicine organised and participated in a double blind, randomised, placebo controlled, crossover trial of the parachute.

Thanks, that was hilarious! Tough cookie trying to get volunteers with a placebo group. That might be the deal cutter..
