Think you need to look at the colour contrast on your tv Diz. But colour isn't the point here it's the mindless violence and criminal damage caused by people just looking for an excuse! idiot

it always is the blacks that riot tho one of them dies for for a crime and they all go mental, its happend all over the country thoughout history since they were given freedom. if it was a black police officer that shot him nothing would have happend.

You may recal the Police were criticised for being too soft, or did you select not to hear that!

I am only presuming nobody else has come back at you about your post is because it is being treated with the contempt it deserves, and I think you are very much in the minority on this site, thankfully.

Rant over


I think it's your somewhat selective viewing. In my post I didn't defend any of the thuggish behaviour on behalf of the students. Of couse throwing a fire extinguisher off a tall building is indeed stupid and was rightly punished with a jail sentence. However, the police performed some extremely thuggish actions throughout that day including the kettling of children. If you believe kettling kids is fine then I'll have to treat your opinion with the contempt it deserves.
Whether the majority of people agree with yourself or me is up to them.

the only way u can deal with these animals is with brute force, so the police can not be blamed and if black kids are looting and rioting they need to be dealt with properly and kettling sounds fair to me, if they were being good it wouldnt happen would it

I was referring to the student protests. No doubt some, perhaps many, of the protesters in Tottenham were little f***ers and deserved some rough treatment. The looters are just .... But the kids protesting about tuition fees were, for the most part, very well behaved. The same cannot be said for a quite a number of Met. Police Officers on that day.

Don't confuse protesting with looting/rioting. This started peaceful, and ended up as it was.
Nobody knows what happened on here yet, and the media always sexes the reports up.

The way I see it, Tony is spot on. This country is too obsessed with political correctness, One police officer smacks a student and they are all ...? these dicks are wrecking London, are you saying if you where are a cop on duty amidst all that, your behaviour would be exlemprary?

If the crime matches an M.O of a group of people then of course the police will go after them, what doesnt help is people jumping in crying racism!

But anyway, If you disagree with the law, wreck the joint, ruin homes and burn down businesses.

Just got a message from one on the front line saying he's been on duty now for just over 20 hours, in full riot gear. He's been hit on the head by a concrete block that's been thrown at them. Got a banging headache but nothing they can do.

3 officers have been taken to hospital after being hit by a car driven at them at speed as they tried to arrest looters no Police vans smashed to bits so there's nowhere for the Police to hide or any way for them to get out as vehicles are thin on the ground.

They can't stop many of the looters as there's just too many and they're spread over too many shops in too many areas. They are doing themselves no favours whatsoever. This is fook all to do with a guy being shot, it's just an excuse.

Not heard from the other friend, but he's at least 6hrs into overtime now, which takes him to roughly an 18hr shift so far.

I just feel so sick frown


Sometimes Police Officers give more than just speeding tickets!

Apparently the media have been asked not to show full extent?

Looks awful.
