If you are rioting then you should expect the police to use:
Rubber bullets
Tear gas
Water cannon
Tasers
Truncheon (asp? Cobra? Whatever the Billy bat is called these days)

If you are carrying and or threatening to use a fire arm then expect to be met in kind

These scum don't deserve civil responses to their actions. Meet them head on with full force

My god! Something we agree on!

I was thinking I could be turned into a real life first person shooter. Whose up for a bit of sniping ala unreal tourney? "headshot!"

Human rights and civil liberties go out he door when you start rioting like this.

Well we could bring that nice Mr Bashar al-Assad from Syria and let him have a go. Shouldn't take him too long to sort things out?

Poll %'s are whack.
So far 8/12 = 80% and 4/12 = 40%

Looks like Carol Voderman was correct.

I put "water cannon".

Not in favour of troops on the streets. Well, maybe a few well placed snipers.

1st option but maybe not the live rounds, but the cops do need to get a grip, grow some & get going.

1) Lock up parent/parents of anyone caught who is under 18

2) Anyone found in possession of looted property is fined 20 x retail price of goods and gaoled if they can't pay. No excuses whatsoever accepted.

3) Could the Blackberry system be closed until it quietens down?

This. Problem with tear gas or rubber bullets is that someone is more likely to get really hurt. Que the media going mental over heavy handed tactics. The damage caused would be overshadowed by the media circus.

The amount of police on the streets during the riots is laughable. Should be wall to wall police, not a few standing around looking like they are about to get their heads kicked in.

Should get the army in to sort them out, the police would seem to be ineffective. Live rounds is a bit to extreme though
