The news have pretty much guaranteed that by telling where the Police Forces are going to be under staffed - basically everywhere that isn't Liverpool, London and Birmingham.

Nobody's saying it'll magically stop all looting, but it might make enough people think '**** this, I'm going home' to make an actual difference to the situation.
They haven't spread to Manchester. Don't believe everything you read.
Let's suppose Police officers work 8 hours a day, work 5 days a week and take 36 days of holiday/sick a year. So that's 47 * 40 hours = 1880 hours. There are 8760 hours in a year. So, even just normal working conditions you'd expect just 1 in 5 officers available to "tackle crime" at any one time. Now factor in time in court, doing normal paperwork, training, interviewing suspects, etc, etc and consider that not all police officers work full time anyway. I don't really see 1 in 10 as much of a damning condemnation.
Why should the police have to put up with this? - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14456050
Personally, I'd be happy to see anyone caught behaving this way deported. Can't respect our society? Go elsewhere! Suspect these tough chavs would be in tears when they had to wave goodbye to mummy.
Also, I do hope the police have rubber bullets available... Wish they'd use them!
And finally, watch this to see the quality of the people involved in this 'action' - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14456065

Nobody said it was a panacea but surely it would help.
You could add in tear gas and rubber bullets.
See people looting a store? Fire in some tear gas.
Again, the issue is the fall in this number, it used to be much higher. We have seen drops, both in relative and absolute terms, in the number of officers involved in frontline, operational policing, while the total number of officers has increased dramatically.
This is not indicative of a funding problem, but an efficiency problem.
This is how we handle things in aus, they shot her in the leg
'A WITNESS says a woman rammed a car, smashed it with a pickaxe and was holding a knife before she was shot by police.

this is the thing do you go in heavy handed force the youngster with proper weapons to use them in retaliation like guns and stuff then it goes to another level people will be killed.
its not a black and white simple way to be dealt with.
basically for now it will just be a force of numbers to overswell them and try and maintain peacefully

We waited to see whether Cameron would order auxilary forces in but he was way too spineless to do that.
His idea of a tough reaction is to recall parliament tomorrow. What a pathetically weak leader.
When it kicks off again tonight, he needs to resign. Weak, old man.

Before you do that you will have to ask if you can have them first, am sure the answer will be yes but you have to say the magic word.

Because we're focusing on many different things. The Met's Operation Trident to reduce violent crime in the black community wouldn't count towards the "Frontline" officers, but they are. The metrics used to make those statistics are misleading.

Morning! Another 1500 posts since you left us last night
The Police would probably end up getting sued for destroying property, and the way the court system is these days they would lose.
