Paul lewis a guardian reporter was great last night he was on foot in london trying to keep pace with where the trouble was a lot of the troublemakers were using there own cars and black cabs to get about the police were pretty much clueless they were just chasing shadows all night.
http://twitter.com/#!/PaulLewis One of his last tweets this morning was "Something tells me we'll all be back here tomorrow" I think the powers that be are terrified of this spreading outside of london. |

This is total chaos almost now, I agree to a point with MTVN, there seems again a lot of answers to be got from the Police, having said that they have a really hard job to do.
That area is quite volatile but it's the damage and looting that annoys me a great deal, this is their community likely and they just go crazy. How do you deal with that. Indeed answers are needed as to why someone with a gun, but not ready for use gets shot not once but twice, there are some gun happy Police as well. The Police have a few problems of late with all sorts of questions as to how they conduct themselves but this does seem likely to escalate. I don't believe violence solves anything, these protesters and demonstrators are doing themselves no good at all. However,the Police do need to answer that question that MTVN pointed out, the gun was not ready to use, why 2 shots seemingly to the head and what happened to the use of tazers,why weren't they an option. I fear though that things are going to get a great deal worse as to public and Police,there is less and less rapport and trust between them and these incidents are likely the tip of the iceberg as to the future.

This has nothing to do with police and everything to do with criminality, fecklessness and bad parenting - i would also throw into the mix the failure of multiculturalism

I actually haven't seen many faces in the pictures since most have their hoods up and faces diverted away anyway.
I would never generalise as to who or what are doing this but I do know that (even if he/she had a gun, not ready for use), if one of my family or friends had been shot twice in the head by the ' Police' I would certainly want answers to that. Seems a rather extreme and too rapid reaction from them on that incident. |

Makes me laugh when people try to make this into some kind of stand against "The Man". But it dilutes their freedom-fighting message when you see them all stumbling out of JD Sport and PC World loaded with boxes they've just looted. I would say that the police do a bloody horrible job, and thank God they do, or we'd all be prisoners in our own homes while the dregs of society - like those involved in the trouble at the weekend - rampaged, robbed and looted. A report I read stated that a "non-police firearm was recovered from the scene". Unlikely they'd have shot this "family man" for no reason considering the **** and hoops they have to go through every time a copper fires his gun, especially following the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes. Gun crime is out of control in this country, only a fool would say otherwise. Guns are illegal even for sportsmen, so I have no problem with the police shooting anyone caught in possession of a firearm. Last edited by Livia; 08-08-2011 at 10:39 AM. |

Even if there was a case to argue against the police since when did rioting become the process in which to complain and affect change?
This is all to do with criminality and NOTHING to do with policing. |

Criminality however is a wide area, if someone has a gun, yes they are armed but if there is no intent seen as going to use it,then that is what it is, he is armed, shouldn't be, but is carrying a gun, not actually using it though. It was said he was running away,clearly no intent to use the gun then, so why the fatal gunshots to the head. You mention criminality, well equally as with citizens the Police are 'not' above the law. I would not be a Policeman for anything, they are hampered greatly in many situations and do overall a fantastic job, but that doesn't mean people can be shot dead by them unless there is absolutely no other way. Look at the Raoul Moat case a while back, he was armed, he had killed someone, injured someone else, shot at and blinded a Policeman and yet he was the one who ended up shooting and killing himself. The Police,before he did that, even in that extreme instance only used tazer guns.although obviously they were also armed too. |

Yeah, I find it hard to sympathise with all this blacks stabbing blacks over post code bollocks. And they always make him out to be some sort of hero with all his friends telling us how great he was and he was really "just a good guy" when in reality he was exactly the same as the person who killed him.

It is illegal to possess a gun without a licence. If you have a gun and no licence it shows intent. Just being in possession of an illegal firearm shows intent. |
