Also, what the fuck is with the reluctance here to use baton rounds / plastic bullets on rioters?
Or even the water cannon?
On the "mainland" ?
Because "it isnt a British way of policing" or something like that.. are you fucking serious?
Not that I favour any sort of armed policing whatsoever, but the RUC - last time I checked they were still a police force under the remit of the Queen - seemed to never have any problems whatsoever opening up on republicans in the north of Ireland with the plastic bullets at the slightest drop of a hat.
Double standards bullshit.
Perfectly alright for the cops to use them in northern Ireland but totally unacceptable to use them on British citizens.
