Certainly it is usually safer to come after them when they are done rioting - less chance of anyone getting hurt in the ruck. Naturally the polis are damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they wade in and people get hurt, it's police brutality. If they bide their time, collect useful evidence and make arrests after the rioting is finished, they are slow to react, incompetent, etc etc etc.

Sorry Chris,you're wrong.What the police should do,and can't cause of our liberal,lefty don't hurt anyone approach,is charge the rioters.Charge them and use water canons,tear gas and plastic bullets to disperse the rioters.
These pictures of anarchy and mayhem going round the world,sehen we are supposed to host the Olympics in a year are no good at all.
Having spent time in countries where the police do use these methods and go in HARD,I thought they were very effective.The state shouldn't allow people to loot as they please as not to 'hurt and offend' anyone.
What's needed now is robust and decisive action and cracking skulls.
