Police In Bristol

[Paigntonian]

Six days' warning and they still couldn't deal with a small riot. Breathtakingly useless.

[Paigntonian]

Do you think that it might have been acceptable for them to actually arrest the yobs?

[davebro]

Just a pity Boris' water cannons were sold off.

[TonyV]

Which one are referring to?

[Paigntonian]

Maybe, davebro. A superintendent has just been on the box saying they had a 'proud tradition of aiding protests'. Good grief. If they couldn't cope why did they not get reinforcements before the, publicized, event.

[Paigntonian]

The second riot, Bristol, last night.

[webbo3]

Are you talking about last night, not a small riot, I live in

[webbo3]

Bristol, chemicals, fireworks, paint, rocks, bottles.

chaos.. but all in social cohesion.. the children have takne over the school...

[Paigntonian]

Police utterly useless, not fit for purpose.

[bednobs]

citizens are utterly useless and dont deserve the name

[andres]

1.000 strong mob is not a small riot.

[Atheist]

Paign... perhaps they were turning the other cheek?

[Hopkirk]

Perhaps we should invite the Burmese or Chinese to show them how it's done.

[vulcan42]

All these idiots are doing is proving the bill they are against is necessary. Why would a demonstrator take a laser other than to blind police officers?

[fender62]

vulcan42, organised and they know exactly what they are doing, what i dont get is...whats the point, maybe if we had say for example the chinese army to sort it, freedom democracy, what do these idiots actually want, more chaos..tell you what, there a lot of us willing to nip this in the bud.

[Hopkirk]

They want the right to protest peacefully. It's a funny way to show it.

[douglas9401]

Certainly demonstrating the aptness of rhyming slang.

[fiveleaves]

Go easy on the police. The blame lies entirely with the rioters

[Paigntonian]

Won't go easy on the police. They should do the job they're paid for.

[zebo]

Had the police taken decisive action, water cannon and tear gas, no doubt the same police haters would be criticising too, yet that's what these idiots need.
