So I calculated 38% of the UK's police force has been impacted directly by these ASB's & Protest/riots negatively
I know people are calling for the army to come in and help with the riots, but I'll be absolutely gutted if they do because we should never have to do peacekeeping in our own country.
The army don't have anymore power than the armed police, and it's been at least 200 years since the British forces were needed to read any riot act.
Yes we had been brought in to help when the fire service went on strike and many were called in to help during covid but never in our lifetime have they been needed for peacekeeping.
Maybe I'm seeing it from a personal point of view, but I think they should give police officers more power than what they have. I do understand its not as straightforward because you will get the odd few that will abuse that power, but that will be very few and far between.
This country has gone mad and its soul destroying to watch.
