London Is Undone

A criminal attempts to kill a policeman but miraculously the bullet that he fired was deflected by the armed officer's radio. The brave officer returns fire and the miscreant dies. This does not happen on the seedy streets of some US metropolis, but in London, England, and incredibly, riots with an undeniable racial component and looting are sparked as a result. The police are showing remarkable restraint toward people attacking them and even trying to kill them with Molotov cocktails, but innocent people are being hurt by these lawless thugs and property is being damaged and destroyed. Instead of promising investigations into the police to placate demonstrators, those in power in Britain should tell the forces of order to take the gloves off and chase the rioters from the streets.
