Are you ****ing kidding me? The reason these ****s are running around destroying everything is that the police are powerless to do anything thanks to all the Health and Safety and Political Correctness bollocks in this country. The Police do the best they can but are limited in how much force they use because they will probably be prosecuted if they touch the poor little scumbags running around looting and setting things alight.
send in the army, nothing puts the ****ters up a rioter quite like a challenger II rolling down the street towards them.
I hope they are prepared for a lot more widespread looting. The police resources are spread thin and they are getting absolutely no support for pencil pushing politicians who are afraid of a little bad press. What a bloody joke this country is.
They should be allowed to use whatever is necessary The wee fannies are bawbags. They go within 10 feet of police then run away if the police look like they're going to hit them. Get them on their own and you'll see how brave they really are <crackingskulls>
Agreed. Swap the helicopters with cameras to helicopters with guns and rockets. I wouldn't want to meet the guy that fancies his chances against an apache
How about slurry canons? There was rioting here a few weeks back and Rebelboy barked on about how water canons were dangerous weapons, they should not be used and the best thing for a riot is for the police to sit back and let it "fizzle out." Plenty over here to borrow. These thugs will not stop if the police are unwilling to take any approach!
Allegedly, if the Police use the Army for help, the rioters will recruit the Northern Irish to help them.
None of the services are trainned to use water canons. And they wont use the army in fear of shooting 7 year old jonny in the face with a plastic/rubber bullet,the ipcc would have a field day. its a nanny state we live in.
