The Police are scared to use too much force after the 2009 G-20 Riots, in which they got criticised for doing there job. Also, it's illegal to use water cannons in mainland Britain, and although the Prime Minister, David Cameron, could legalise them in an emergency COBR (a sort of UK version of the White House Situation Room) meeting tomorrow, they would have to be brought in from Northern Ireland which could take a certain amount of time we do not have.
With no considerable force to fight back with it seems were fighting a loosing battle and it looks like the government is playing a "burn its self out" strategy.
Well what do you think would be the best way to bring things back under control?. It doesn't seem a good sneak peak at what could happen at the 2012 Olympics does it?

In my man cave
It just needs to be stopped now and the only way for that to happen is to send in a true specialised force.. only about 4% of the police who are there have had the required riot training!
What I don't understand is when it came to the student riots, the police didnt have second thoughts about charging in and beating the hell out of them however when it's the minority it's a totally different playing field. Fair enough the police tactics to a degree works since they are dispersing the crowds but it's not enough. If I had my way I would send in watercannons, the TA and chuck norris.
This riot also means the England V Holland friendly won't happen tommorrow :argh:
