Just watched bbc newsline there, about the riots last night, were 500 policemen were needed to keep any semblance of control. It really makes you think when you see kids throwing paving slabs and using 20ft metal poles as spears why on earth the police can’t retaliate. The police can’t hit anyone unless their own lifeĀ or a colleague’s life is endangered, bullshit I say. If the police were allowed to knock the crap out outĀ these vandals, I guarantee they wouldn’t be so willing to try it again.The excuse of; if the police were given more autonomy then the rioters would use more dangerous weapons is also untrue, seeing three policemen were caugt by a shotgun blast last night.
Mad stuff, but basically par for the course
