pap Posted 8 August, 2011 Share Posted 8 August, 2011 It's ok. David Cameron is coming to sort it all out. Mixed feelings myself. Part of me thinks it's good that he's actually taking ownership. Another part thinks his involvement will be like pouring petrol on a fire. Trouble in Birmingham is a bit worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedelldays Posted 8 August, 2011 Share Posted 8 August, 2011 its a sad time for the UK...when completely obvious crime and destruction is taking place right in front of the police and they basically stand there and do nothing sad times when streets are on fire, the police should not be stopped, worried, scared of using the full force of the law to stop this.. get forces lads on the streets and see what these punks do when the law bites back also, where are the 'community leaders' who are quick to call the police racist etc...where are they tonight..?

Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 8 August, 2011 Share Posted 8 August, 2011 This is ****ing unbelievable. This has ******** all to do with the shooting (nor did the weekend's riots for that matter). I find it disgusting that the police will happily pursue and arrest fence rattlers but not this lot. Army on the streets by Friday if this keeps up?

I dunno... They've definitely cottoned on that there's relatively little reaction from the police, but I reckon this has been coming for a while, just needed somebody to start it.

Spot on really. The police have been guilty of over-reactions on many occasions, but it's too easy for the press to pick their actions apart with the benefit of hindsight. It does seem as though the police are expected to act with absoultely zero room for error, and they no longer seem to know where the line is so they're hesitating.

St Marco Posted 8 August, 2011 Share Posted 8 August, 2011 Just saw it on the news, pretty awful **** right there. The thing is you might understand if they were protesting against something like the financial mess, unemployment, the war in Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya, the cost of living going up, the people who are running the country etc But it isn't anything like that. They are just a bunch of kids out there trying to cause trouble. As mentioned above the fact the police are doing nothing is disgraceful. They need to get in there 80s style and beat the **** out of these little ****s. Half of the problem is they know nothing will happen to them. The country has gone too soft.

If the police make arrests at the scene, because of these do gooders, it means they will spend hours in custody suites putting case files together. These are unprecedented events and there's not an officer around who has any experience of such widespread public disorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
