The Met knows what its doing. It really struggled with public disorder in the 80s -look at the footage of the original Brixton riots when the Police had to use dustbin lids as shields..they are probably a bit rusty in dealing with this sort of rioting.
I suspect a lot of senior managers are on holiday- August being the unofficial"wakes week" for public sector senior managers. They are all on their way back now..
