Labour says police forces are forcing 2,100 of the most experienced officers into early retirement, some of whom are then being asked to rejoin on a voluntary basis

Let's not forget how the police force was formed.. it was through volunteers who wanted to do something about the troubles in society.. In all, a good cause, yet now it is as broken as the banks and the system..
But let's also not forget recent news regarding the force..
I think that of the 15000 that are being let go will more than likely return as volunteers just because of the bad state of affairs that is going on.. This riot could be part of the method in which theses 'volunteers', volunteer..

Interesting point of view, I wouldn't doubt that at all, in fact, if I were one of those policemen who found out that 15,000 jobs were being cut I wouldn't do a dam thing either..
They actually mentioned this earlier today on Sky news-that as soon as the police found out about the cuts they were totally demoralized-I can understand that,as the cops know they only just keeping a lid on things with the 15000 still working-when they are gone the police left on the streets will be in more danger,with less support/backup and resources.
Crime against the person will go up,assaults,thefts rapes,the lot.
I think the government have made a massive error in getting rid of so many cops,but of course the areas the Gov live will always have plenty of police...just watch.
I am amongst the first to speak out against police brutality when it happens,and there may well be something fishy about what happened to Mr Duggan,but I think sacking 15000 cops is a crazy move.
How they care for us the small people,our loving Government...

Or maybe an education,some discipline,a job and HOPE for the future.
That helps prevent crap like this in the first place IMO.
A lot of these parts of London have a big divide 'tween the haves and have nots.
This is a big part of the problem.
