Leeds Riots (19 Viewers)

Not sure about the 'if it was football fans' stuff. Football games are scheduled so that police from all around the area can be present in numbers, especially if games are classed as 'risk'. This is mainly covered by working overtime and the bill is footed by the home club.

The reality is that in a situation like this there simply isn't the numbers and there's not really the capacity to quickly bring people in from neighbouring forces.

Can't remember the figures but I someone a while back stated how many police were on duty in Cov on a Friday and Saturday night and it was shockingly low. Any real trouble and at best they're looking at trying to contain it and waiting for it to run its course.
Maybe the community can be forced to pay for extra police then?

May as well just let them do what they want and then next time something happens it can be done again.

If anybody involved is a foreign national / migrant, instant deportation. Fuck around and find out.

Will it happen? Will it fuck.

Alright then let’s just turn a blind eye and let it escalate regardless
Don't think anyone has suggested turning a blind eye. The police know they're under resourced and fucked in a situation like this. They will have a plan which I would imagine involves using their limited resources to try and stop trouble spreading to other parts of the city

we do, police funding is part of council tax. I'm sure if the council said that the cost was doubling or more due to the cuts in funding from central government 'the community' would be far from happy

Water cannons would have been perfect, or like the German police do move in and disperse

well yes, that's what tends to happen with riots. when do you remember a riot occurring and thousand of police were sent in within hours of it happening.

even with things like Tottenham, which went on for days, by the time the army had been mobilised things had mostly run their course.

Not licensed for use in the UK, think it was last considered when May was Home Secretary and she quickly squashed it.

If you recall Johnson purchased some for the met after the Tottenham riots and they had to be sold for scrap at a huge loss as they were not authorised for use in this country.

From what I can tell the guy leaves his kids alone all the time, social services have come in to take them and it’s all kicked off.

Same as the London riots this stuff should be dealt with quickly with knocks on doors tomorrow morning. It’s all on camera. I’d support deportation.

Are you sure the people speaking out about this aren't acting a bit like Hitler?
kristallnacht?

oh the irony

unfortunately we're now living in a time where the intelligent people are frightened to speak out for fear of offending the idiots.

and have you noticed that is never the thick fucks that get "cancelled"?

Notice how Sky News and the likes have turned comments off on posts about this?

What a dangerous day we live in.

This the same guy that's blaming a language barrier and saying the police should speak Urdu?

Top man indeed...
