Situation In London

[Gandalf]

As long as there are politicians making up excuses for criminal behaviour, it will continue.
There are thousands of jobless people in the UK, millions across Europe. So it is allowed for them to steal from shops and destroy everyones property because they have no job and no money ?

Stop defending them and start taking them out. Either by some hits on the head and jail, or if they do not wish to listen by more force. Give them a reason to protest against police brutality and they will stop protesting...

I just read on the Swedish newspaper that they will set in 16,000 policemen in the London areas to calm everything down, every policeman is now called back to work from their holidays.

And I even saw a picture of a blowed up London bus who was taken by a Swede who studies at the university in London.

I guess that means my brother will be called up for service then, seeing as he is a fully trained and capable riot officer. Really concerned for his safety right now.

Haha agreeable Panda.

I think they will end these riots now by sending in so much police force. And what Gandalf stated, there is no reason for them to steal from others just because they have no money or job.
If they now don't have it, they can try to fix up their lives instead of steal and ruin the life of others. I wonder how much the English goverment have to pay for all the damage and shit that have happened in London.

Alsatian, I wish your brother luck. I hope he stays safe out there.

Panda, as funny as that is, Idk if it's the right time for the jokes quite yet, although I have to somewhat agree that heavier artillery might be a consideration here lol

Although in an earlier post, i joked about the Canadians using some rather questionable actions in their riot control tactics. I have to say im disappointed. For a country that invented Law Enforcement and developed most of what it is today, they seem incredibly under trained, under-equipped and under-staffed to handle a situation as large as it has become. The trick is to use all available resources to quell any riot WHEN IT STARTS, not allow it to grow to a size that eventually requires said amount of opposing police force.

I have been watching videos since the beginning and frankly, the cops basically stood their and watched it happen.

Another video ill post show the prime example of how to deal with a protest. Police should never prevent a protest as long as its peacefull BUT they should have all force available to remove individuals who intend to cause violence, so that the peacefull protestors feel safe doing what they are rightfully allowed to do. Here, the Toronto Police came out, full force to make sure that they removed the criminals, and protected the innocent civilians. Things turned violent at times, but it shows the right way of doing things.

Out of this entire situation, that is probably the best quote I have seen so far. Well said. It's pretty much the entire Met's mistakes in a nutshell.

They f**king need to send out the police with tear gas and rubber bullets, its got so bad that its even hit the actual area I live in.

There are reports of unrest in Manchester, but it seems like the police have put down the threat before it grew.

Signed it. Quite fitting how they've left the banks and post offices alone - don't want to miss out on their benefits in the morning, now do they.

This video right here makes me feel sick. Absolute scum. And the way he walks off at the end thinking he's a tough guy because he's just robbed a guy who's near enough out of it... sickening.

I can't even put into words how grossly disgusting that video made me feel. We call ourselves human beings, yet we do such horrible things to each other. We don't deserve to exist on this planet.

Disgrace ...

Get the army in there now and shoot the rioters with rubber bullets and then lock them up for a minimum 20 years. 
See how they like it then.

No.

It's just a shame.
 :ps: Nexxt if i see you doing this shiet you are done son!

[Alsatian]

When I said there wasn't enough police, I was being serious... as you can see. Looks like war scenes - absolute chaos.

Those brave men and women putting their lives on the line need to be equipped with guns loaded with rubber bullets and teargas fucking now.
