London Calling - A Different Rage
Aug 8th, 2011
A very popular post from on YouTube is making the rounds. This is a Londoner lashing out at the terrible and senseless violence by his fellow citizens shortly after the riots began. The money quote:
"What's pissing me off more, right, is the way police have to handle this. They have to sit back and watch this so nobody gets hurt. Fuck that. Get in there. I want the police in this nation to be like the Italians and the Americans. They see trouble, their first fall of action isn't "oh, God, don't let me hurt somebody," it should be "let me batter the fuck out of that bloke so he doesn't do it again."
The wounds this destructive anarchy is deepening will not soon be healed.

It's worth noting that the anarchy and rage now consuming England started with a police shooting. It was the kind of extreme law enforcement action that, whether or not it might eventually be deemed officially justified by some British court of inquiry, has become a throwaway moment in America. It happens all the time here. It gets a few minutes on the local news, if that, and we then go on about our business.
