My opinion is that probably 70%- 80% of the population wouldn't mind if the police started using rubber bullets & water cannons on these idiots (myself included).

What I don't like is how some people on these forums are using this whole situation as an excuse to further their own little racist agenda's. :mad:

I wouldn't mind, if they are clearly seen throwing missiles, smashing windows and burning cars, a rubber bullet would be a great deterrent. A line of policemen standing 30ft away does nothing if they don't move in. The gun gives them the range and accuracy that the rioters and looters don't have.

Oh the irony.

Was rather unimpressed with his statement at 11.
 
London riots: Residents fight back

It was feared they were trying to break into the mosque and the nearby Islamic Bank of Britain, but they were driven away by a large crowd of Muslim worshippers.

“Within about 10 minutes there were 1,500 people on the street, not just Asians but also Somalis,” said Muhammad Ali, 27.

“We were at a chicken shop, finishing our fast when we saw the looters. Some had bandanas over their faces.”

According to Sam Miah, 26, the riot police were unsure what to do. “They saw our brothers from the mosque and we said we could handle the situation.”

ok, so i know less about it than i thought. i thought it was something to do with a bomb.

why do they say shoot to stop if they are just going to kill them? why not say shoot to kill. will be more of a deterrent for sure

Right, lets clear it up if theres any confusion.

Jean Charles de Menezes, he was killed 2 weeks after 7/7, when there was a failed suicide bombing, because they thought he was another suicide bomber so they shot him in the head to "stop" him from blowing his bomb up. But he didn't have a bomb.


This Black dude shot on Friday night was "stopped" because they thought he had a gun and so wanted to stop him from using it and killing any officers/innocents.

You want to incapacitate the target, to stop fingers twitching with nerves etc, so a head shot is an instant kill.

Rubber bullets are all very well until the innocent 8 year old kid separated from her father gets killed.

Or the police catch someone, pin him down, and use a rubber bullet at point blank range into the side of his head to 'teach him a proper lesson'.

they shouldn't be on the street. fathers fault, not police with bullets.
 
That youtube video of guy being heled then robbed is spreading on Malaysian forums and news now too - apparently he's a Malaysian student. A few messages of people saying the police in UK could learn from PDRM and FRU (police here and riot/crowd control)

Embarassing situation for England

So what do you suggest? Or should we just let the thuggish minority go on the off change it bring about a glorious socialist revolution so we can have a proper authoritarian state?

And more importantly, he did have a gun, a loaded gun. Correct?
