I have been to many a football match in the UK. (OK not in the 70's) I believe the UK police are very good as defusing situations which in other countries, Switzerland included, FCZ v FCB getting totally out of hand and ending up in the Hauptbahnof looking like a war zone!

| Quote: | |  | | | Almost everyone knows about what happening in London and other big cities in UK. My opinion, police in UK don’t do their job properly or someone does not let police to do their job. (Possibly stupid laws in England or stupid Euro-tolerance).
Unbelievable, but police decided to employ rubber bullets after3 days (!) of lootings, burnings and vandalism. Police do nothing to protecttheir citizens. I cannot imagine it happen in USA (for instance). Stupid tanagers are throwing stones to police officers, burning down their cars and police stations and police don’t shot idiots back. What is it? This is not police,this is kindergarten!
Do you think it can happen in Switzerland (especially in the German part)? | | | | | Maybe we should employ sheriff wild bill Hickok and Wyatt Earp to sort it out, may be everything will quiet down if those two saddle up and ride into town...
Maybe the reason that Americans don't riot is their society induced malaise and general confusion as to what is actually going on, heavy handed policing tactics have become the norm in that country to such an extent that nobody thinks twice about a New York police man shooting a 16 yr old black kid in the back, as long as he did something 'wrong'.
We don't really want Britain to be like that.

Not sure Americans are as good at looting but the storeowners in Los. Ang. were well armed (not that I am necessarily advocating that gun rights would be the answer to the UK riots, just saying)

From here
I, for one, find spraying rioters with sh!t not only super effective, but funny as hell as well. | | | | | I think this would be perfect for Britain. I only left London 4 weeks ago........I was feeling homesick but all of a sudden feeling rather happy to be here!!

Once people start to run out of money and the social safety nets are no longer available... there will be riots.
