Wouldn't work as they would all start crying about not been able to find the rules or how the rules that everyone else follows should not apply to them

Personally I think they should break out the rubber bullets and fill the water cannon trucks with mace,we are no better than our Irish brothers so if it's good enough for them then lets dish some out over here.

bubblegum as i said in certain situations yes.
the police have their hands tied at the moment,as we have seen over 100 officers have been injured ,but god forbid if 1 of these little scrotes gets a hiding everybody will be up in arms about it.
nobody has been killed yet but it`s going too happen sooner or later.
then what do the police say too the relatives,well we could see what was going on but we couldn`t do anything

Maybe a few Syrian army "advisors" would resolve the issue

are you suggesting that we give police a free rain to do as they please?

the police action should be at equal level to the threat.

Not a free rain but in these circumstances when innocent peoples small businesses are being burnt to the ground and women are having to jump from the first floor of a burning building (page 3 Daily Mail) then what is sometimes considered excessive force should go out of the window.
every time the police arrest a rioter it takes two of them off our streets to deal with the arrested person but if the police could put the fear back in to the rioters to stop this nonsense maybe they could take back some ground and if this upsets them who really cares, they shouldn't have been acting like a scumbag in the first place

I don't think they should have carte-blanche, but I do think they should be able to apprehend people using physical force if necessary, and not be sued for it in the civil courts afterwards.
Dusty mentioned Belfast - if this was Belfast there would have been water canons and tear-gas/rubber bullets deployed by now. That's how riots should be handled and what rioters should expect to encounter should they decide to go on the rampage.

My old dear's afraid to leave the house. She says there's a chopper hovering overhead and the owners of the local shops are standing outside their businesses with their friends, holding suspiciously long rolls of newspaper. It reminds me of the Korean shopkeepers bravely defending their stores in LA during the riots there.
At least the Koreans had shotguns.

Wonder if the Planet guy's are stood outside PE headquarters with "rolled up newspapers" shaped like Ego 11's :bat:

 

[Return of the Silver Fox]

Apparently the Colonel Gaddaffi has recognised the rioters as the official UK Government

Actually, they used to replace the baton rounds/rubber bullets with D cell batteries from their maglites

Particularly handy for those who thought walls were good hiding places.....
