You can’t infer it from a few random videos clips. You are seeing what you want to see and the worst examples have probably been magnified on social media.

Is he still there is he?

You know they’re not on the way do you? And there’s police available they just cba?

Do you genuinely think the police won’t attend this situation out of choice?

Ok Nick

I’d rather they were dispersed but as I said the police are struggling.

Nobody is justifying it. It’s just a stupid example of “two tier policing”and not realistic to expect the police to disperse them when they haven’t the numbers to stop mobs setting fire to hotels and smashing their way in. Anyone carrying a weapon should be charged.

Not to me

Why is it suddenly everyone is talking about two tier policing and how it has antagonised the situation? I thought the causes were immigration and the Southport attack yet over the weekend this new narrative has taken over and seems to be every where?

Different video

Should be easy with that evidence but Nick won’t be happy until the police kick fuck out of everyone nearby.

Who said it didn’t happen?

This was over the weekend when several areas had issues.

It’s selective. There were gangs of people trying to burn down hotels and police barely intervened. A few seconds of some people standing around while a few cars speed by hardly an emergency. It’s meaningless. You could pick examples to prove either. It’s fucking dumb.

Just talking to someone who was working as a special constable in another area. They were the only person on duty at times for the area, everyone else on riot control working double shifts.

I don’t really know what point you’re trying to make. There’s been riots all weekend and the police weren’t able to prevent them.

Yup. Add to that the police are stretched with the actual riots they probably don’t have the resource. Or maybe they are on their way, who knows, but what a colossally stupid fucking comparison when the police have pretty much stood and watched people set fires and such all weekend until they...

I might be late on this but some terrible videos around. A mob surrounding a car smashing all the windows and dragging the driver out in Hull. In Liverpool a lone motorcycle police officer hounded by a dozen or so and hit numerous times.

just watched a video on BBC site where the rioters storm one of the hotels and the police are just watching. Is this the two tier policing people are quick to blame as the cause?

I should add, I had a look at the council website over the weekend and it’s a 6 week wait currently. Also, we have two terriers who are yet to catch one or seemingly even deter them.
