more riots tonight. obviously I condemn and disavow these highly effective methods of mass violence. god forbid they continue and it leads to political change that would be awful
@augustus The police have shown that it works for minorities or for foreign issues. They set the standard doing this.
@sim GBNews is heavily pushing the "two tiered policing" meme as a response to the killings
@augustus I guess we will see how this goes. But this is the problem when the police and government have enabled the destruction of social cohesion and law and order. It leaves me uneasy for the future.
@sim They want to just ignore it and hope it goes away. That is 100% their strategy. So long may riots continue.
@augustus @sim in the video I saw on Twitter the police were doing exactly jack and shit about the riots, I saw video where they just watched guys fighting with machetes and made no attempt to stop them. another video where white people were throwing concrete at them and they were just attempting to block the concrete with riot shields. I found no video of them attempting to actually stop anything.
@sun @augustus So why were they there I wonder? To be target practice? To increase tensions?
@sim @augustus there were so many people rioting that I don't think police could do anything. what is england allegedly supposed to do in that situation, send in the army or something?

I think they were just putting up barriers and hoping that did something.

@sun @augustus @sim what should happen is that the king should just like execute the dude who killed those kids on the spot. but the royal family doesn't do anything except drugs and benefit from pedo rings so that's unlikely.
