I'm sorry, so you're saying you have a problem with the fact that if I get pulled over, the police officer can't say "hey 'n-word', gimme your license."
That bothers you....?
I think you've confused censorship with something a lot more simple.
I think you are deliberately misinterpreting what I said, and deliberately using a highly charged example. For the record, yes, I would have a problem with that. Any police officer who insults a citizen should be sacked, period.
If people would stop being so selfish, they'd take into account other people and their feelings, and if they took other people into account, they'd be forced to think before they act or speak, and if they think before they act or speak then they wouldn't be saying the things that political correctness stops in the first place. They should change the name from "politically correct" to "moral" or "respectful". You've never heard of words starting wars? Never seen group fights because the N-word was thrown around? Or because WT was thrown around? Come on now, political correctness is just an unfortunate phenomenon created by the LACK of RESPECT people have for one another.

Also from the OP's post and some media coverage that I have seen there appears to be a lot of black youth. Sadly not a surprise by today's standards.

It could be, if you really wanted to stretch things.
But I'm pretty sure they were just your common or garden chavs.

The distinction between a ''chav'' and a ''wannabe gangster'' is moot. Their actions and motivations are the same.

If idiots can riot over a death and cause damage like they did, Am I entitled to shoot anyone attacking my property?
I mean if they operate under that principle of 'please yourself', whats to stop me reciprocating?
...or indentifying them and going to smash up their car another night?

Go into Tottenham and say that to a gangster. See what he thinks.
