Very true.

And now the BBC puts a rather mischievous slant on newly released historical records:
Thatcher 'considered arming police' during 1981 riots

The article in fact simply says that Thatcher and Willie Whitelaw agreed that using the Army "could not be contemplated", and they would prefer to arm the police. To me, that hardly sounds controversial. The PM and Deputy consider what may be needed to deal with serious rioting, obviously there is the army, it is considered and dismissed seemingly out of hand, and the way it reads, it's like saying "I'd sooner arm the police than contemplate troops". But that's as far as it went. Any PM would of necessity "consider" any possible options. Arming the police seems to have been an obvious bullet point on a list of options, but one which was rejected. The police were not armed, they got better equipment and they were sent out in numbers.

I love it when people write things like that by accident.

But for the shooting their would not have been a protest and but for the protest their would not have been a 16 year old girl to push / attack at that time.

"They cited "policing" as the most significant cause of the riots, and anger over the police shooting of Mark Duggan, which triggered initial disturbances in Tottenham, was repeatedly mentioned – even outside London"

See it's their for you to see. 'Anger over the police shooting of Mark Duggan triggered initial disturbances'

Interesting article....

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/dec/0 ... ry-england

Saturday 6 August, 8.30pm

Alex watched the car he set fire to smoulder. He waited for the windows to crack and the petrol tank to explode. He had known nothing about the protest when he first left the pub. When people in the crowd explained why they were there, he quickly decided to join in.


Alex rioted 'when the crowd explained why they were there' - to protest over Duggan.

But for the shooting their would have been no protest, no violence, no riot - In Tottenham.

75% of rioters said the shooting of Duggan was an important or very important cause of the riots.

You believe that the consequences of the police shooting a man are civil riot and yet would support the police shooting more people who are rioting, presumably leading to more people rioting because of those shootings ?

No, i agree with you, the police responding more aggressively would have only inflamed the situation.

However if the police had needed to respond more aggressively in a specific situation to save lives then they of course, without question, would have needed to do so, but only in that very specific situation.
