Re: Riots in Tottenham

I always worry about someone who equates carrying a water pistol with a real gun and then tries to justify leaving everyone with a gun alone, just in case it is a water pistol.

Probably the same bleeding heart liberals who feel you should go soft with criminals as they have human rights...despite the disregard the crimimal has for others

One has to question whose rights come first

Yes l agree as there are too many wooly Liberals who's first move is to stand up for the criminal and their rights and forget about the poor victim and their rights.

Re: Riots in Tottenham

As one of my Facebook friends has put it.

"So armed police go to arrest a man, man resists and opens fire with a handgun hitting one of the cops who then return fire, killing him. Now people are rioting demanding justice? What the *flip* is going on with this country?"

Duggan was obviously a thug, you don't get followed and arrested by an armed surveillance team for a giggle. He knew the Police were following him and texted someone to say so yet still decided to shoot first before the Police returned fire.

Yes l agree totally but the problem is non law abiding people obviously do not see it that way and that shows how idiotic they are.

well i for one fully support the police shooting gun toting idiots ,but i wouldn't want to be a police officer in that area at the moment ,lets hope they get the full backing of the local mp's and lets hope the police have broad shoulders 'cos they're going to need them

if, if, and if.
For once I agree with Gary.We do not know enough and I suspect that all those who rioted last night just had a garbled idea of what they were rioting about.They just wanted a ruck.Until the IPCC have finished their investigations we cannot actually KNOW what happened precisely.

because it may have been a gun and the womans life was at risk. nobody had time to assess whether you live or die.

Re: Riots in Tottenham

The more I watch this the more my blood pressure rises.

The BBC are allowing members of the 'community' to go on about the murder on Thursday without challenging it. I'm sorry what murder? There was an attempted murder of a Police officer but no murder.
You get complete ring pieces like Jodi McIntyre taking a break from deciding if he needs a wheelchair or not putting status updates on twitter saying the violence was all the fault of the Police and urging people to rise up against Police brutality.

In any other country in the world someone shooting at the Police and getting killed would be written off in a matter of days. Here it gets passed to the IPCC to sit on it for months before coming out with a report.

And yet not one senior Politician comes out to back the Police action, maybe they are ashamed that they are relying on the Police while planning to cut wages and increase pension contributions.
