UK far right trouble July/August 24

When Police tactics and response are questioned.
These are officer numbers from 2023

Just remembered we invented football and the steam engine but I’ve just checked the points system and they’ve been cancelled out by James Corden

Very good point - we have a lot to answer for.......... :-)

 

[i kne albert davy]

Am i wrong?

Yes

 

[dronefromsector7G]

You haven’t got any mates.

Six minutes- disappointing

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

With quite a lot of help from Russia, America, France, Poland, Norway, India, Africa etc etc...

Don't try and gaslight me - that's not how the song goes.

It's the RAF from England, not bloody Norway!

A lot of people would disagree with you but I wouldn't, if you know the consequences before.

The police need to distinguish the difference between a violent riot and a violent peace protest if it's ever going to fly though.

There shouldn't be any violent peace protests though, should there?

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

sadly the racists will feel vindicated with the suspects name, its foreign looking, he's black. that's enough for them to feel justified.

To quote Meatloaf.....

Foreign - check
Black - Check
Muslim.....

Oh well, two out of three ain't bad.....

I've seen this before, if the coppers feel they've been embarrassed, or outflanked, or an officer hurt, or they're under political pressure, whatever, in a previous demo, or even earlier in the same demo, they go full Rambo and arrest anyone and everyone.

I want Farage arrested, along with every fucker on GB News and Talk TV and every fruit loop on Twitter spreading lies and misinformation, these fuckers need to be made an example.

It ain't going to happen, but in the words of my favourite fascist, it would "make my day".

its not going full 'rambo'.

Over 50 officers were injured in Southport the night before. This was about a proportionate well staffed response.

The reality is the mob will always be bigger-the Met are hoping a positive, pro-active response will send the message that if you attend these 'protests' you may end up spending the night in cell.

If this were to escalate across the country the police would lose control-I'm not sure we want anarchy.

As for the rest-of course it would be wonderful.

The issue with live rounds being used on groups of fuckwits causing unrest is the potential consequences that arise from a stray bullet hitting a civilian.
I understand why some think it’s a good idea but as a civilised society we should probably be looking at something a bit less radical.

 

[Eebo]

Fuck water cannon. Break out the live rounds. If you use the killing of three young girls as an excuse to go out rioting, it's what you deserve

I don't understand why rioting is not treated more seriously.

If water canon, baton charges and rubber bullets don't do the trick then why not shoot a few of the fuckers as a last resort?

It would make the coked up pricks think twice about going out for a fun Summer's night of rioting, and reduce the appeal of it.
