U.K. Riots & Protests Become A National Emergency ! Who Started It ? Why ?

What we are not hearing much about is the excessive police force which resulted in the death of a British youth, and which elicited a small familial protest that ignited the festering discontent of social and financial disenfranchisement of British youth. As here in the U.S., British government has condoned and facilitated the corporate and banking fleecing of the people and the national treasury. Such smoldering discontent is like small tender building up on a forest floor which ignites into an out of control forest fire with one lightning strike, or a carelessly tossed match; such as excess police brutality or prohibiting police action filming. It's bound to happen here as well under the current circumstances and course of government action. One comment from a victim of the riots characterizes the issue completely: ["No one's stolen anything," Graham Reeves said. "They just burnt it down."] The purpose isn't looting, as alleged, it's to vent anger and frustration at the "establishment" which has exploited and victimized the average person in the U.K. Our criminally militant corporate & banking right believe that they will be unharmed if such an outbreak occurs within the United States, but I suspect they will be terminally mistaken. The dissatisfied in this country have a very good idea of who has stolen their lunch and beds.

"Police to flood London streets amid riots"

"(CBS/AP) LONDON - British Prime Minister David Cameron recalled Parliament from its summer recess Tuesday and nearly tripled the number of police on the streets after three days of rioting in London blossomed into a full-blown political crisis.
Cameron described the scenes of burning buildings and smashed windows in London and several other British cities as "sickening," but refrained from more extreme measures such as calling in the military to help beleaguered police restore order.

Instead, he said 16,000 officers would be on the streets of the capital Tuesday night, almost tripling the number that were out Monday night.

Some 525 arrests have been made in London alone and dozens were arrested in other cities. Police announced Tuesday that plastic bullets would be "one of the tactics" available to officers to quell the riots.
