As a consultant to the government on the use of force pointed out these water cannons are only intended for use against crowds at a distance. At such a short distance that water jet is equal to rubber bullets and sponge grenades, neither of which are used by the police because they are considered as too dangerous, the outcome being too unpredictable.

People can live and work here without having citizenship and as they pay taxes here it's also THEIR government policies they can protest against.

As others have pointed out, riots are by definition unpredictable.

There are numerous examples in the past about « so-called » or actual overuse of lethal force by police against rioters, peaceful protests or not that much.

Kent state university is a well known one, still remembered in America as although a very and fortunately isolated incident but still a disaster.

Also this one in Mexico City which has been more forgotten by the masses:

Mexico's 1971 Corpus Christi Massacre, Fifty Years Later | National Security Archive

Washington D.C., June 10, 2021 – Fifty years ago today, a group of pay-for-hire thugs known as the “Halcones” or “Falcons” swarmed the streets of Mexico City in a coordinated attack against some 10,000 student demonstrators. Wielding rudimentary weapons including chains and bamboo sticks, the...

Again against students but left a heavy scar on then president of Mexico and made leaders, Presidents or PMs around the world rethink their handling of protests.

Nowadays though, I still believe the majority of protesters tend to be peaceful, and the most vocal, active and violent ones (Antifa, Black bloc…) get away with it too easily, while some other are just caught in the moment and start doing dumb things.

No honor among thieves.

Nor among the people that are supposed to hunt them down.

I'd have offered him a severance package consisting of a handgun with a single round.

Police - tell us who did it.....................

The guy in hospital needs his wounds squeezing a bit - funny how his friends can get to the house - bundle him in and drop him at hospital and police are nowhere to be seen and have no idea who is driving the Audi

1st thing that needs to come back is death penalty - carry a gun 20 years minimum - carry a knife 10 years minimum - get all the boat people to build a new prison on some godforsaken island in Scotland

Update:

I don’t have any intention to be snarky especially about such a tragic killing, but the UK has the most CCTV per inhabitant if I remember correctly.

Just show how useless it is.

What the UK, France, Germany need are more cops and boots on the ground, not stupid cameras being monitored by some jackass nodding off or browsing porn instead.

I would have preferred it if they had just shot him dead and planted a gun

 

[Jake84]

In all fairness - the cops presence at a gay pride event in the UK might be there to actually prevent any Jihadi Joe to stab the LGBTQ crowd.

But they have no business doing the Macarena - not their job at all.

More like prevent the police from actually doing some real work and catching some criminals

Plenty of men in dresses there to stop Jihadi Joe if needs be

And as the media keeps telling us they are just as capable of fighting a world war as non-birthing persons are, so surely an unwashed mentally unstable or two shouldn't pose any problem what so ever

Disarm them with your smile! ?

Like I've said mate, it's the new normal mate!!

It's not 'Normal' and never will be in my book

Oh but it is the new normal alright.

Gotta protect them vulnerable and discriminated special people from the vile and evil racist, conservative, right-wing bigots.


Anyway, another protected special one...

According to the Dutch MoD only one person is in critical condition.

 

[Mike1976]

It seems they were part of a row earlier in the evening and were ambushed in front of their hotel. I assume that's enough for (attempted) murder instead of manslaughter, but in democrat run sh*tholes there's no telling these days.

 

[Mike1976]

One of the injured passed away

The soldier, 26 y/o Simmie Poetsema, died with his family and colleagues present, Dutch officials reported. The two other soldiers injured were listed in critical and stable condition Saturday. Dutch officials said that remains unchanged.
