Why aren't they using CS gas and rubber bullets? Water cannon and smart water..then round 'em all up.

We don't have water cannons on the UK mainland, only in Northern ireland

The police should finish filling out their risk assesments by wednesday, then they can go and sort it out.

Amazing the Dutch had em in 69, i remember being hit by one.

n that wasn't rioting,they were just swilling the dossers off the "Dam Square" pmsl

I wonder if that wastrel Cameron will declare a State of Emergency on his return from sunnier climates? Although we don't have the Riot Act anymore, at least that way he could declare them to be shot on sight.

I remember having an argument with some members of the French CRS in Paris back in '85...one of 'em whipped out his gun and held it to my head. I wouldn't mind, but I'd only been peeing in the back of a dustcart.

I'd say that what is happening now has sod all to do with any shootings and most of these opportunist rioters and arsonists would not even know the name of the bloke shot... this is simply an excuse for mostly teens and young adults to run around causing aggro..any reason for the the events in Tottenham have gone out the window..it's a free for all for those inclined to smash things up and rob.

Is this what he meant when he said the big society and people doing things for themselves!!!!!!

Declare a curfew, send the army in, looters to be shot on sight.

Innocent people might very well die.

As well as all the homes and businesses being destroyed, that might not get rebuilt for years.

That's aside from the real fear that all the decent people, living in the areas targeted by these scumbags, are having to cope with.

no it dont seem a virtual reality game people have been warning about this all year this has been pre-planned by criminals taking bobbies off the street is not the answer and sunbathing while your capital city burns is not good leadership .thats just a point of view thats not political point scoring whoever was in charge its just plain wrong its total anarchy its not funny its like guerilla warfare.
