Re: North London rioters burn police cars, bus and shops over police shooting 'gangst
So? It doesn't have to have happened to have an emergency plan. I can hear the police saying, "derrrrr. Look at that there black man attacking that there shop, drrrrr. Should we do sumpin? Deeeeerrrrr."
Enough about the black people. It's not all black people, how many times does it have to be mentioned. And they're not necessarily targeting people either.
Even when I go out to the streets today...people look at me like I was part of the riots, so it appears these riots will only cause further problems in the future.
The fact is police were blamed for reacting "too strongly" in riots (though of course, much minor riots) not so long ago. So they're damned if they do, damned if they don't.
However I believe if the police responded strongly on Saturday (Tottenham riots) people would've thought twice about rioting throughout the city (and country).
I can relate to social issues that might of had some bearing (likely very, very little though) to the riots happening in the first place. People over here don't believe that they have any place in society. Even though I believe the governement has some issues and to a degree (very, very little degree) these people have been segregated (I have been stopped by police myself just for looking like I might cause trouble) but reacting to it in this way is unacceptable.
Most of the sh*t that's happening can be described as "opportunist criminality" and "recreative rioting" e.g. they're bored and have noting else to do but go around vandalising and looting and they now have an excuse for doing so too.
