Somebody on bbc question hour was suggesting that police inaction was on purpose.They wanted this to escalate and use this violence as an excuse to make draconian laws.Cameron's action actually agrees with the prediction.
I do not want to believe in conspiracy theories but seriously does it take 3 days to decide using baton round/rubber bullets.
I totally agree with you but instead of giving Police better tools they want to monitor social media which is just absurd and can be used against their political enemies which does suggest malice.
I fail to understand how social media monitoring will prevent riots next time if Police chooses to be an spectator.
