STREETS OF CHAOS Camberwell clash: Four cops hurt after stick-wielding crowd attacks police as theatre protest descends into mayhem

FOUR Police officers were injured when they were attacked by a stick-wielding crowd as a protest descended into mayhem.

Shocking footage showed police struggling to contain dozens of protesters outside a theatre in Camberwell, South London.

Clips circulated on social media show how cops were forced to defend themselves as protesters were seen hitting police cars with sticks.

Others armed with batons rushed along the road towards officers.

Amid the chaos, the group can be seen launching missiles and throwing plastic barriers at police.

Four officers were injured, one of whom was taken to hospital and has now been discharged.

Eight people were arrested for offences including violent disorder, criminal damage, possession of an offensive weapon and assault on an emergency worker, the Met said.

The chaos caused gridlock in the suburb after a major road had to be closed near The Lighthouse Theatre.

The protest was related to "tensions in the Eritrean community", the force added.

Reports claimed a group arrived to protest against a meeting inside in support of the government of the East African nation.

Had several similar protests in the US that descended into violence like this.

Why do “we” have so many people here who care about a non-descript, backwater nation that they’ll trash the places they’re in?

Cops without weapons are worthless

The need to kill will soon take place in such instances

Eritrea - Wikipedia
Eritrea Ertra, pronounced [ʔer (ɨ)trä] ⓘ, Arabic: إرتريا ), officially the State of Eritrea, Arabic: is a country in the Horn of Africa region of Eastern Africa,

***********************************************************

Eritrea is in Africa and thus is broken to say the least. It’s a wild guess (according to wiki) but Islam and Christianity represent SOMEWHERE around half and half of the population.

Concerning the riots in Camberwell, South London, and in other parts of the UK, and elsewhere around Europe, these animals are going to have to be deported. That is the only fix. For the most part, they simply have no education and no skills and they have no work ethic. It’s just a question of how long is long enough for UK voters.

The “ crowd” was all young Eritean men.
Bringing their culture to enrich weak white England.
Gonna bet many were born to immigrant parents and still not “ assimilated”

Don’t be silly. British cops have no problems with people who ‘breach the peace’ by say praying silently outside of an abortion clinic or hauling off a teenager who says that a cop reminds her of her ‘lesbian gram’. And you should see them dancing at gay ‘pride’ parades.

Name a country that improved after the Muslims took complete control without the help of the Western world or a country that settled them without any problems.

Eritreans and an Ethiopian involved :

Woman tries to bring ‘fake bomb’ onto plane to test Phoenix airport security
The Australian ^
Posted on 8/10/2011, 9:49:06 AM by nuconvert

A WOMAN is behind bars after allegedly attempting to carry an explosive device through airport security at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, US. Lewiza Daman was accused of trying to sneak a fake bomb past TSA agents to test airport security, MyFoxPhoenix.com.

TSA agents found what looked like a simulated explosive device inside a carry-on bag at a checkpoint Friday. The container was filled with a paste-like substance, with a cell phone taped to the top.

The bomb squad and hazmat teams were called out to the airport until they could determine the device was fake.

Daman - an African refugee with no permanent address - told Homeland Security detectives a friend had given her the fake bomb to carry on a plane and hand to someone waiting for her in Des Moines, Iowa.
