Perhaps the most unbelievable thing about this current disorder is the number of actual participants. In London, you are looking at about 4-500, apparently, Manchester and Birmingham probably much less, so we are looking at controlling at any one time nowhere near the numbers of rioters that were about in the past, meaning we are all getting fucking terrified about scrotes that in any sane world would have been taken in hand by the authorities at the fist brick thrown.
Whether liberal thinking agrees or not, we are are not overwhelmed by thousands of 'Protesters' we are are, because of woolly thinking and fear of litigation and offence, being held to ransome by a few kids, apparently egged on by serial criminals, although personally, I think this is to a much lesser degree. People advocating water cannon are wrong, as pointed out by the Assistant Chief Constable, they are for use against large crowds and are useless against the kind of Rob and dodge round the corner episodes we are witnessing.
In short, they need the unrestricted use of batons and snatch squads as employed in the past,
