If they don’t use live ammo, they best go in with over whelming numbers instead of 5,6 or 10 cops.

“London police said on Tuesday they will consider using baton rounds”

and they’ll might consider raising their voice and making other scary threats if extreme violence continues.

Thanks for the chuckle.

The bring in the water trucks and hoses to flush them down the sewers.

"So this a$$hat would send his officers out to a gunfight with plastic bullets. He would prefer to have his officers use less-lethal force against criminals using lethal force against them."

Except for our 2nd Amendment and an citizens armed for self defense, how much better off are we.

The Border Patrol Officer killed by one of the "Fast and Furios" weapons supplied to Mexican drug dealers - by the Obama Regime - had just fire a SANDBAG at the killer(s). That was (and I hear is still) the rules of engagement until live round 1st come from the other side.

and an citizens = and citizens

Is #6 shot good for zombie hordes? I have a few hundred rounds saved just for this purpose. For use in my 12ga Tri-star tactical pump of course.

"Prepare To Use Plastic Bullets' if Violence Continues"

Prepare?! "Commence to begin to start to get ready to prepare" would be more likely be a reflection of Brit thinking. These are not the people who stood up to Hitler and Mussolini, or to the Japanese war machine.

The English never had any hesitation in using blunt force in Northern Ireland, but it seems a different standard applies when the unrest is in London instead of its occupied territories.

Worth repeating thank you....

Here’s a comment from my friend in the UK after I advised they should switch to real bullets:
“Jack,

We are OK. Unbelievable what is going on. Whilst it is rioting, it nonetheless in truth is a race issue. The Rioters are 90% black/Asian but nobody will mention this and because of this the Police do not use any meaningful force against the rioters. We need the New York police force, they would not stand back and be pelted with bricks by black and Asian teenage rioters.”

He might be wrong about the NYPD but interesting anyway.

That guy is also mentally ill.

What he is saying is simply that the mob is free to hurt certain people and burn them out and he doesn't care ~

Equality under the law is not a Brit ideal sad to say.

“The bring in the water trucks and hoses to flush them down the sewers.”

Yes!!

[muawiyah]

Here's what it is ~ the Brits don't respect the fuzzy wuzzies enough to send their very best.

Their idea is that their attention spans are short and they will soon tire of rioting and looting.

When it comes white folks like the Irish the Brits are scared witless and fight even the women and children as if they are the most dangerous of aggressors!

Jesus went there to mine lead. Where’d it all go?

I'm starting to wonder if the reason for hesitation might be that there are children of the upper class mixed in with the radical anarchists rioting?

[bgill]

Might as well ask them nicely to go home quietly.

How did GB produce Churchill? It’s amazing how fast and how far they have fallen.

Buggery will do that to a country spiritually.
