Re: Riots
Sadly our police and the US police are too trigger happy. If they did more to contain situations and had fewer lethal outcomes we would save a lot of money on enquiries to find out if they acted appropriately. No-one wants dead policemen but families don't want dead family members simply because the police were too keen to use weapons. The 4 C mantra - Contain - Communicate - Co-operate - Control usually works most of the time. Police also need to record incidents like these on video and on high definition photographs so that the public and public enquiries can see what the police saw and heard and make a fully informed judgement.Lack of transparency tends to lead to public suspicion.
