I agree. The officer showed a lack of restraint. The fallout from that was a riot in Rochdale by the local South Asian community. The knock-on effect from that is coppers in Stoke standing by their police van whilst a group of men armed with pipes, machetes and hammers run past them.

Law and order has fully broken down in the country now. Riots in Leeds by Romani people due to social services taking neglected kids from parents, riots in Rochdale in response to overzealous policing and riots in major towns and cities across the whole country in response to a heinous attack on little girls. These things don’t exist in vacuum and the ugly scenes we saw today have been bubbling away for years.

The thing is, most of the rioters and looters don’t care about these issues. They just want an excuse to smash **** out of shops and people they don’t like and half-inch ****.

It all suits certain agendas and distracts for the real problems we should be angry about. Such as the massive and growing wealth inequality.

But I don't want to stray into politics.

I read a study once
Cant remember it so im paraphrasing

But essentially
When you let low level crimes essentially consequence free
Over years the crime and its effects build up and up

It’s called the ‘broken windows theory’ but yeah, you’re right. It’s actually been mentioned at my work with regards to student behaviour haha.
 
In Italy you must have done at least one year in the military before being able to apply for the police.

I think it’s the way forward, it would stop all the fatso’s and slovenly meffs from getting in.

Our OB police are one of the few in the world that don’t carry a firearm, that will change at some point. It has to.

The military is where they need to recruit from, not woke universities. Put some pride back in the uniform.

Who would you want carrying a gun when there’s a marauding active shooter running riot, an ex Marine or someone with a degree in Philosophy?

Round pegs, round holes.

Police are massively scrutinized in this country
If they use their firearm
And kill someone, theyre almost certainly ****ed

We dont have water cannons here
The police are not allowed to do much

At least the Scousers can’t pull that ‘Scouse not English yeno tha laaa’ ****e about them being uniquely progressive compared to fascist Little England anymore. They’re just as bad.

Also, weird timeline we live in when Republicans and Loyalists are standing shoulder-to-shoulder in Belfast and flying the Tricolour and Union Jack together on one side and the people on the other side are flying LGBT+ and Palestine flags.

The cops in Spain are mostly fit looking ****ers, even the women ones are very decent, bit sexist I know.
Me and Two laugh like **** when we exit the KC, fat ones, midget ones, baby faced ones, they look like a Benny Hill sketch, why they put 5 foot 2 women in riot gear to try stop todays trouble is a joke and dangerous to their comrades

I think it’s over 20 now, seems like Hull has had the worst violence of all

Saw a video of some daft munter from Sunderland getting a video'd visit from the law this morning after rolling a wheelie bin into them last-night..

One of her 'friends' posted it on FB last night with the comment 'what you like:emoticon-0102-bigsm' or words to that effect.

Big copper just kicked the door in and the next thing she's getting dragged out half dressed.

Silly ****ers!!!
