“…..Vigilante groups set up to protect shops and homes from rioters are hampering the policing operation,
a senior officer has warned.
Reports suggested that hundreds of people turned out overnight in parts of London, including
Enfield and Southall, to defend their property amid fears of further looting.
But Deputy Assistant Commissioner Steve Kavanagh, from the Metropolitan Police, said they
were not helping matters…..”
No, they were trying to help themselves while the police looked on. As
others have said, you can’t blame the police for holding back. If they even
hit one of these little scum-bags in self defence, it’ll be all over the front
pages the next morning. As well as on the TV news, then there will
have to be an enquiry over the police using excessive force.
They really are in a no win situation. Perhaps they should let the police
wear “hoodies” to protect their identity
It’s only a matter of time before one of the looters gets killed, if things carry on as they are.
