Rupert_Baehr Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Ideally I'd like to see a police force which is much more carefully recruited and which would exclude some of the people who currently get through the selection process. Wouldn't we all. The Police can only recruit from the applicants they receive. How much additional money are you prepared to spend (and where are you going to find it) to improve police recruiting, training and retention?

shims Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 mmm, say Black people represent 5% of the national population, then if more than 5% of the rioters are Black, then they are over-represented. There's a problem with your theory. (Maybe you'll figure it out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritPat Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 mmm, say Black people represent 5% of the national population, then if more than 5% of the rioters are Black, then they are over-represented. I agree the innumeracy charge was levelled at Halibut and Shims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: finding it; I'd probably take a good look at the benefits system for starters. Unpopular, me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chorba Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Usually when the Tories are in power hahaha But objectively can we not partly blame the lib democrats for the sate of the country too? (crisis, unemployment etc etc) And don't the labours have the biggest part of responsibility for the state of the UK after years and years of being in power? In my opinion, labours, conservatives or lib dem, doesn't matter. The crisis, the riots etc etc would have happened anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_words Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 There's a problem with your theory. (Maybe you'll figure it out). Local, National, no... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritPat Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 There's a problem with your theory. (Maybe you'll figure it out). I think that you will find that it ends up being a problem with your theory. The Local Population has a higher Black population than the National Percentage of Blacks. True We now note that all the areas that are aflame have similar Higher than Average BLACK POPULATIONS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffvan 1 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 How on earth would people identify 'these idiots' - do they have tattoos saying 'I'm a rioter' on their foreheads? You don't half come out with some rubbish. A housebrick in one hand and a petrol bomb in the other usually gives the scum away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doingalright Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Are you suggesting that black people are NOT a minority in Great Britain? They dont appear to be the minority in this riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagel Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Peckham now, wherever that is. Are all these areas where the rioting have occurred particularly black in population. I know Brixton is, but what about the rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
