re: England Riots August 2011 (Was London Riots)
The inspector gadget site has gone into overdrive recently, some of the comments from officers on the front line are truly staggering.
Bullet holes in police vehicles, 18 hour shifts, cops in half uniform being attacked on their way home and an almost full mobilisation of public order officers UK wide. Absolutely unprecedented.
Yet still with the damage beyond belief the powers that be won't let the gloves come off. Cops are being told to hold back and watch, that the people responsible will be dealt with at a later date.
As well as the raising of a generation of feral youths, we've reached a stage where there is a generation of senior Police management afraid to take action. The front line want to get stuck in, and where they have been allowed to have restored order, but the management are more concerned about soundbites than actual policing.
Next time one of them appears on TV count how many times the bull plop bingo buzzwords come out "community", "partnership working" etc. etc.
