All kicking off, people setting buses on fire, smashing up police cars etc.

Videos online of reported "migrants" chasing police.

Why not treat them like they would football fans?

Everyone with mobile phones, uploading video to social media are doing the police's job for them.
It's going to be so easy to identify those involved off that footage.

Yeah I read something about some kids got taken off some parents or something along those lines? No doubt 99% of the people rioting have no idea about the cause

If it was football fans they would be battering them with batons calling them right wing. I can’t wait for @SkyBlueCharlie9 to respond calling us all racist for calling it out

Of course they would. The police are probably sat in vans catching people speeding.

Weird. Those that are always camping in the politics thread have choosen tonight to make their one night a year out the house happen today. Can only guess that's why they aren't making a valuable contribution here.

They've probably got something daft like 3 police cars for the whole city, and 1 of them has just been written off.
What can they do? There's hardly any of them left. Seriously, when was the last time you saw one?

They are currently thinking of excuses, it may take them a while though for that to happen……probably weeks or months

They should just sit and watch then.

Like I said, their job is to police. There's plenty available if it's "football yobs".

Only just got back and saw the news.

Sounds awful. Hopefully it can be all unravelled to see exactly what happened and also that everyone involved with the riots is brought to justice

It isn't just the Roma community, although that's being used as a hide behind....

Pretty sure it's the far right tbh. Although those usually pointing thar finger towards that are nowhere to be seen for some reason.

Aka do fuck all and beg others to help.

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.
