I can't understand how there are 33 thousand officers in the Met and they can't handle this situation, where are they all?
Sky News were talking about this earlier, one officer said that a small number of that 33,000 are trained in how to deal with riots... they won't send out anyone who hasn't gone through any training.
Personally, I don't see much in it... walk around with a bat, shield and look "dead 'ard"
It's a load of shit. Only 1700 officers deployed who just seem to be running them from one area to the next. I can't believe that out of 33k Met police only 1700 are riot trained. In London one of the most troublesome cities on the planet? No way, that's bollocks. A lot of my friends are very suspicious over a lot of stuff happening around this...
But on the upside it only took millions of pounds worth of damage for David 'call me Dave cos we're all in this together' Cameron to get his useless arse home.
They just tried to break into one of my friend's houses in Ealing. Good job they didn't manage to get in.
