Riots in Tottenham, London! (NO RACIST COMMENTS)

That is simply not true. That is how the death squads in Brazil operate.

Otherwise the police could arrest someone who they say could have had a gun er maybe possibly because he looked the type, the guy starts struggling, so pin him down and shoot him twice in the head.


It's never been like that. That is exactly how death squads operate in Brazil. That's the whole point, the whole problem ..

If they pin him down there's no threat to police or anybody else, hence no need to shoot him, you're a bit thick aren't you.

Put yourself in a place and think for a change, you're an office you are sent off to deal with a suspect that is as reported armed what do you do, wait for him to draw the weapon?

Thanks

Basically, my point is that the police in England just don't seem to have adequate training for these situations. They appear to be nervous around firearms, which I think was shown by most of them not willing to carry one.

Nervous because one wrong move and they're crucified by the press and ridiculous political ideology regarding civil liberties.

I say we fight fire with fire. Screw the rights of the rioters and protect the rights of law abiding citizens. Time for hoses, tear gas and plastic bullets.

Have water cannons been approved yet?

what water cannons, theres none on the mainland

 

[CliffyBiro]

WOW, what an insight - the police feel uncomfortable when they are confronted by people with guns

The police have a life outside being a policeman as well you know.

How thick can you get?

I said carry their own guns.

How thick can you get? Not being able to read ranks pretty high.

If the ARMED units are twitchy with a gun, I'd say that points to problems, yeah.

I'd like to see his criminal history and evidence on facebook on drug dealing please.

Then I'll agree with you he's a drug dealer.

Right because I have the evidence on a file on my desk. Here's another link. Stop being pedantic. One of the few things the police have stated is that he has a criminal history, and he was the subject of an investigation.

SAM launcher / turret I think

Bloodhound long range surface to air missile. Retired in the 80's if I remember correctly.

can you not just answer the question of where you drawn the line?

Everyone deseves pity, everyone deserves a hand out of their hole.

Violence only begets more violence, what needs to occur is just far too extreme for the largely unintelligent people on this world.

If someone does wrong, you do him/her wrong...you do him/her right, anything to the contrary is barbaric, unjust, pointless, unenlightened, degenerating, dismal and so on.

It may be in our nature, but we have a choice to avoid it, only animals call for violence and if you are offended by that, its too bad.

Passed aload of cops traveling towards Swansea, accompanied by three off road fire trucks.

also this, might make a dent in the rioters

anyone know what it is?

Bristol Bloodhound surface to air missile. Outdated

Few things kicking off around the 'rough' areas in Milton Keynes, seems to be under control at the moment - http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/n...s/newsevents-pressreleases-item.htm?id=186521

Yup they're all over here gathering dust.

Outdated, but against some scum with bricks, effective

They are in certain situations, there are investigations to ensure that the response was proportionate, but the verdict is often 'lawful killing'.

The UK police are never allowed to target anyone for assasination. Even if they think they 'deserve it'.

 

[stulid]

Just been on the news (BBC) that the police felt a threat to their safety and hence they are authorised to use the force that they did.

That should shut Skippi90 up.

Please read your sources. I looked at this a long time ago.

Where is the drug dealing evidence or statements?

Googling fail.

maybe outdated but so are the British police tactics and equipment, even the army have better riot equipment.

Also take back what I said about Oxford. The Macdonald's just down the road was broken into and torched. Not a proper riot though.
