When seconds count, the police are... ?
Yes, why is this burning permitted?
So, Londoners, how’s that gun ban working out for y’all?
Oy, and back when yer 'ad yer guns took away from ye' didn' ye'?
“...special constables called in Plastic bullets would be used for first time ‘if deemed necessary’ ....”
Sorta sounds like a liberal’s version of “I f*rt in your general direction.”
My gawd, the UK is turning into France!
‘We need to do more for London’ All able-bodied officers and special constables called in Plastic bullets would be used for first time ‘if deemed necessary’
Only if they riot for more than a week, and burn down 3/4 of the city.
Amazing.
I hope we never reach that level. But THAT is where political correctness will take us.
City is burning down and they are “thinking” of using water cannons and plastic bullets.
I always wondered what it looked like when the barbarians won.
The police sound fearful of doing anything—as if it is more desirable to avoid possibly inflicting some damage on a looter than to protect innocent people and their property.
The civilians can wait until the cleanup crew arrives. It's regrettable that the oppressors were so careless with matches as to burn down their own property. Any video to the contrary is a rightwing lie.
Just like the riots after the Rodney King trial. The police did nothing. It was up to shop owners to stop the looters.
The cops are chicken-shits looking forward to cushy pensions and not wanting to risk a hangnail. Their leaders are elitists who are so far removed from the life of the people that this whole thing might as well be taking place on an ant farm. And the People — despite the fear and anger they feel at the moment — will go back to doing exactly as they are told.
Because that’s the REAL goal of the police and government in Britain — to perpetuate the system of Lefist Aristocracy that exists — and to hold the people down.
SOMEBODY GOOD WITH PHOTOSHOP PLEASE!
There is a famous poster that was created during World War II, asking Americans to send guns to England so they could defend themselves.
It would be hilarious to see it marked up to reflect these days and times (and apparently, it would still be relevant)!
Years of lib idiocy have their consequences.
Perhaps the police can politely ask the rioters to stop? /s
A goodly hunk of rebar with duct tape wrapped for a handle, or any old crowbar, would work well for the shopkeepers. (They’ve no Louisville Sluggers, most likely, and those cricket thingies probably wouldn’t have the desired effect.)
‘Course, then the shopkeepers would be arrested, wouldn’t they.
Man, I appreciate the 2nd Amendment.
I saw one police officer nearly lost his composure during a press briefing and called the behavior "unacceptable".
they need Sergeant Angel.
Send in the Miami (FL) police department, they know how to shut down riots.
