A study to find out the main causes for the August 2011 riots that hit several locations in England, revealed a surprise. Economic factors were not the number one reason, police brutality was!
The London School of Economics, along with the Guardian newspaper, conducted a study called Reading the Riots. 85% of those surveyed blamed the riots on the British Bobbies, saying the police hold themselves about the law.
The biggest complaint against the police is the constant detentions and harassment of lower class people, who’re never charged with any crime. Then comes the beatings and shootings by police. Over the decades hundreds of civilians have been killed by Bobbies.
The August riots were started because the Bobbies shot and killed an unarmed father while he sat in the back of a taxi. The cops claimed he shot first, and that a shootout took place. However, the dumb cops committed the act on a crowded street, and many witnesses countered the police claims. An independent investigation concluded that the Bobbies shot and killed the man without provocation!
On the first night of what started out as peaceful protests, the Bobbies singled out a teenaged girl because she was berating them for killing the man. They beat her. Video of the beating was posted on the internet. Their beating of the girl is what started the riots.
To be sure, economics was also a factor in the August riots. For young Brits they were upset over the ending of a public allowance for children who stay in grade school, and, the tripling of college tuition. The Reading the Riots study discovered that it was the older Brits who rioted over police brutality. Many said they want vengeance for decades of repression at the hands of the Bobbies!
And it’s not over, four out of five respondents say more riots are coming for the United Police Kingdom!
By the way, violent protest does work. It forces the Elites to spend money fighting a war on the home front. After all, they ain’t gonna spend that money on helping create jobs, and that’s what makes them Elites, they don’t want to spend their money (so much for trickle down economics).
