The post you are reporting:
I think curfews is one of many options that should be considered
to have known looters etc in places where they know they can contain and watch them and distrupt there lives is worth considering
whilst the cut in police numbers has been hightlighted so many times we should applaud the police who do a difficult job.
a quicky on pcso's marek, they are unable to be used in the way you indicate in your post.
whilst no one can agree with the mindless violence/looting and those taking part in it should be brought to justice, as has been said with prisons full that route is difficult to take, maybe clearing up the mess they have created would help.
We should also look at the under current of concerns, when you have high unemployment, no prospect of a job, poor living conditions etc.
this does create a them and us situation, and although the police have worked hard with the communities even the police spokesman said yesterday they should have done a lot more in regard to the original shooting, the family, and the situation around that incident, but hopefully that can be learnt from.
howard;
yes of course bringing police in from other areas will only make the areas they come from less safe im sure even the police would agree with you.
Let's hope the situation does get under control very very soon, and the positive clean up groups work to get things going in a more positive way, showing those that commit crime its not the way forward
