I think the same could be said about most of the areas. the police just stood and watched, and that's what made it worse. that's why it escalated over the following days.
whether they were ordered to standby and observe I don't know. but it gave out the wrong message to all.

Analysis of tweets during recent unrest appears to undermine the case for banning people from social networks
Analysis of more than 2.5m Twitter messages relating to the riots in England has cast doubt on the rationale behind government proposals to ban people from social networks or shut down their websites in times of civil unrest.
A preliminary study of a database of riot-related tweets, compiled by the Guardian, appears to show Twitter was mainly used to react to riots and looting.
Timing trends drawn from the data question the assumption that Twitter played a widespread role in inciting the violence in advance, an accusation also levelled at the rival social networks Facebook and BlackBerry Messenger.
The unique database contains tweets about the riots sent throughout the disorder, which began in Tottenham, north London, on 6 August. It also reveals how extensively Twitter was used to co-ordinate a movement by citizens to clean the streets after the disorder. More than 206,000 tweets – 8% of the total – related to attempts to clean up the debris left by four nights of rioting and looting.

“We noticed a pattern forming where rioting and the type of criminal activity associated with feelings of anger and isolation generally tended to occur while the Conservatives were in power,” said a spokesperson for micro-blogging site, Twitter.
“We obviously don’t want to jump to a knee-jerk conclusion and definitively claim there is a causal link between the two, but there is clearly a causal link between the two.”

Re: Riots
LOL we'll have to disband the Conservative party so that there will be no chance of the Conservative party ever being in power again.

Re: Riots
Well it seems The Chief Prosecutor and The Prime Minister are in disagreement about the sentences handed out to rioters.
Riot justice is too tough, says chief prosecutor
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...rosecutor.html
And he is at loggerheads with the BBC.
Stop 'making excuses' for looters: PM attacks BBC over riot coverage
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...s-Cameron.html
And on this one l am very one much for tough sentences to be handed out to those hell bent on wanton criminality and mayhem.

It is important to provide a broad political spectrum of links which forum members can discuss and debate and then make up their own minds about things.

The headline you have quoted is not suitable for this family friendly forum.
