To be fair to the police

I have been criticised for some of my comments about the police giving up during last week's riots and also for showing some videos of police brutality on the streets. As I have said before such brutality did not cause the riots, greed and a lack of respect for society or fear of the consequences were more important.

Here is a video I found on YouTube that shows some of what was happening on one night last week and I find it upsetting but not surprising that so many of 'da yout' are so willing to destroy, rob and burn property.

Here are some of the most disturbing scenes to come out of the London Riots. This video gives a true representations of what emergency services, businesses and communities had to face during the London Riots of August 2011.

After filming this footage, I spent time at the Westminster Magistrates Court, to see the followup process of what has happened here. Of coarse this could not be filmed however I have tweeted an article regarding this experience http://t.co/71oE2BK - Please read this!

Please remember to comment below to share your views! Thank you to those people who have done so already. Also, if you like my video, then please subscribe as I have more footage to come and will be making similar videos of current events in the future.

If you know anyone who is throwing debris at police or looting retail outlets on this video, then please do the right thing and contact Crime Stoppers: www.crimestoppers-uk.org/ or call 0800 555 111.

Please note this is a personal video with no affiliations to any business or organisation.'
Please bear in mind that now the genie is out of the bottle and people know that for one night they can probably get away with this sort of action, they may be tempted to try it again... Who knows when they will try it but I am willing to bet more incidents before the end of the year?
