RIOTS: Arrest stand-off in Queen's Crescent
TUESDAY AUGUST 16, 2011
POLICE surrounded a house in Queen's Crescent late last night (Monday) as an attempt to arrest a teenager developed into a stand-off when the suspect ran onto a roof. Searchlights from a helicopter beamed down on Bassett Street while officers in riot gear and dog teams waited outside. As crowds developed, police drew back from the scene on safety grounds without making an arrest. The New Journal understands the operation was part of police attempts to arrest people involved in rioting and looting in London last Monday.

How it's done in Poland
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2011-08-16 21:55.Few days ago a couple of guys tried to start a copycat "riot" operation in Chorzow, Poland. Police send two uniformed officers who immediately got under attack. In defence they shot twice in the air, and as the attackers refused to stop, one was shot in the leg. Then they got arrested and that was the end of riots.
I just wish that in all the other fields we were so much more effective than UK.
