chem1st Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 http://uk.reuters.com/article/2011/11/07/uk-britain-protests-idUKTRE7A637H20111107 Baton rounds and armoured vehicles will be available to police in London should trouble break out at a demonstration on Wednesday by thousands of students over fees and spending cuts, senior officers said on Monday. Four thousand police will be on duty to try to prevent a repeat of the violence that marred student protests a year ago when demonstrators smashed their way into the Conservative Party headquarters in Westminster. I thought we paid taxes fr the police to protect and serve the people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ sheffield Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 If they riot and damage peoples property then they should have baton rounds used against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0742Sheff Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Bit of a sensationalist title isn't it? It's standard issue baton rounds for use against trouble makers. Not mowing down hundreds of people for protesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I think the thread title should include the word "rubber" before "bullets". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0742Sheff Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I think the thread title should include the word "rubber" before "bullets". That would only cover one of the three different types of baton round. I think it should just read Baton round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 We could put "rioters to get what they deserve". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernStar Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I think the thread title should include the word "rubber" before "bullets". But if they put rubber in the title George Osborne and other perverts might turncoat and join them:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't automatically shoot somebody for damaging property. What century and what country do you think we are living in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one person no, a group of them may however think different of it if one of their mob has just had his femur broken by 4 inches of plastic.
