Doesn't make sense in 2011 London from the outside
But this is the situation that everyone has tried so hard to engineer! We all thought that the police were too violent when suppressing protests. Well, now they are less violent. None of the officers on the ground want to wind up in jail for injuring a protester. Most of them are demoralised because of cuts to pay. Many of them probably feel that the public are against them. Hence, not just hours, but days of looting. Enjoy!
