RoryQ Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Teargas, like a curfew or baton rounds, would probably result in the police being rounded upon for being too heavy handed... I wonder will they get the go-ahead for any of that? I believe the Met have said it's a decision for parliment (some of those options, at least). I feel like the Met are caught between a rock and a hardplace. Too soft and passive a response and they are accused of being caught flat-footed or being incompetent. Too aggressive and pro-active and when people are inevitably injured the liberal media, a significant portion of politicians and assorted community groups would go ballistic and look for individual officers to villify for going over the top. It was gratifying to see Kurdish and Turkish business owners out protecting their property on TV - fair play to them.

jade1955 Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Serious rioting and looting in Manchester. Police are holding a press conference as I write. A lot of 9-11 year olds out in Manchester looting. Manchester City Councillor is asking teenagers to stay off the streets tomorrow night. The level of violence is really bad apparently a lot of damage.
