(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This angers me so much :argh: Were too soft; this would never be allowed in any other country. Only around 10% of the Metropolitan Police are Riot trained, so theres not enough to make many arrests AND hold Police lines. So were just watching our own city be ripped apart and burnt to the ground!.

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? No

Just quarantine the whole city. Get every policeman, soldier, tank, the US army, everything and circle around London. Dont let anyone out unless they can proove they have a job, and not if they're carrying something new of high value that doesnt have a receipt. Then leave them there. Let them riot as much as they want, kill eachother etc. They wont have anywhere left to loot in a few days and no one will be getting them food. they cant steal services and they're all dumb as ****. They dont know what life is about, all they care about is a few free ipods. They're a waste of space.

If that doesnt work give every policeman a gun and taser, tell the faggots if they dont stop now they'll all be tortured and killed one by one, every man woman and child that thinks its OK to burn down London. **** them. They cant beat their government. Afghanistan can wait. We have the equipment to take down the ****ers. I dont see them with kevlar vests and shields, do you? We have the upper hand and they can sit the hell down or go to hell.

Shoot them. They will stop, America did it right after Katrina.

I don't agree.........
Shooting your own people should never happen , we not on a scale which that level of force could be justify it.
It goes against the values of this nation. If any live bullets are fired am willing to say the UK has gone backwards. Dragged down by not dealing with it own problems and letting them grow.

They should be suppressed but in any way which could kill them.

I do not know all the issues, but what is happening has happened in many countries over the years.
Paris had similar riots last year that went on unstopped for a week.

Civil unrest is one of the hardest challenges of any free society to deal with, but wholesale looting is a horrible embarrassment to watch on TV.

You have one of the great countries in the world and plenty to be proud of, other than people taking advantage of a situation.


Issues are pretty simple what caused this

I hope the context behind is not lost or we going to get more of these due lack of dealing with said issues.

I don't agree with the methods to get this issue in the light but i think it something we need to deal with. Not just block them out.

Ugly truth we created this and failed to deal with it now we seeing the effects.
