An interesting editorial at this link to The Telegraph.....

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/

Riots: why did the police lose control?
Riot police stand in line as fire rages through a building in Tottenham, north London - London riots: why did the police lose control?

Police have become so sensitive to the issue of race that it is impairing their ability to do the job, argues David Green.

This is worth reposting from the Telegraph:

04.12 An account here from the Hackney Citizen blog of how members of the Turkish community, which owns dozens of shops and restaurants in Stoke Newington and Dalston Junction defended their area from masked gangs without police help.

Point for the Islamic community. Would the Amish have had that sort of backbone?

My report of Africans and Somalians comes from Americans who have seen video of the riots and heard reports ... (don’t really know for sure)... Also - considering the Radical Islamic situation in England and the rest of the U.K., it would seem quite realistic to suspect radical Muslims to be involved - ready willing and able to fan the flames... regardless of the original situation.

I would expect no less from the muslims.

Somalians are mostly muslim anyway as is a good chunk of Africa.

It wouldn’t surprise me for the African muslims to be baited into doing the dirty work so that it looks like a race thing, when the radical muslims are really behind it, egging them on. Then they can claim innocence since there are no Middle Eastern (Pakistani/Arab/whatever) looking muslims involved.

*Black* in Britain is not African descent. It refers more to middle easterners.

In current news parlance, it means Afro-Carribeans. There are also white participants from the welfare suburbs. The English Defense League has made no statement - has not said a word - about the riots, and as they are the premier anti-Muslim organisation, that seems to indicate it is a British colored underclass phenomenon.

“Unless these rioters are destroying only their own areas, the Brits are going to have to start killing these people.”

And sadly so will we. But I think the homegrown libs here are gonna have a come to Jesus moment after a couple reporters get raped or worse by our own rioting ‘youth’ once the SHTF full scale here. Wisconsin State Fair was just the beginning I think.

No, not so be it.

Everyone seems to think Obama is finished, if he’s not reelected, in November 2013, forgetting he will be in power until January. Think he’s been bad these two years? Just wait until he’s rejected and has two months to get revenge.

If there is rioting after the next elections it will only play right into Obama’s hand. Does anyone really think he will want anything done to stop “his people” from burning down the house? Does anyone think he will go on television and beg for an ending to the violence? Does anyone really even believe he has the ability to control the rabid hoard of people the left has worked up into violent mobs?

Obama has already told his followers to punish their enemies and to bring guns to knife fights. Now the left, with Obama’s tacit approval, is calling millions of Americans terrorists. If riots break out in our major cities it won’t take long until they are finished destroying their own areas and come looking to take revenge on their enemies - Obama has already pointed the finger at who that enemy is. Be careful what you wish for.

Did they bring out the social workers, I mean cops, to try and understand the looters?
