Its always the blame game isn

To be fair to the stop & searches though, a lot of the major troubles in the areas do seem to be revolved around a gang culture in young black males.

It's not as though your 'protests' have the reputation of being peaceful or friendly.

Of course not, but never on the scale of this, when large groups gater feelings & emotions do boil over, but what happened last night was far beyond that.

Secondly, there is yet to be an independent investigation into the shooting so you don't know exactly what happened.

Exactly, but it didn't stop the people involved last night did it? As far as many were concerned the police were to blame, so it kicked off.

Thirdly, the shooting may have just been the straw that broke the camels back. Youths still complain of being stopped by the police for no reason and it has been shown time and time again that police use their stop and search powers disproportionately.

Nah that's bollocks, with the ammount of young males that are injured and killed by guns, knives & gang violence, in my opinion the police aren't doing enough, if you've got no drugs, weapons or suchlike on you then so what? If it's what it takes to at least try to keep the public safe, then so be it.

See my other post. Also, "its da feds fault init??" - I presume this isn't Mickey's usual lingo. He hasn't used any outright racism in this post but there's quite obvious undertones and like I said I'm not just referring to this individual post.

That was more of a bash at the silly yooof lingo that's so popular at the moment.

It depends, the original version is said to be brilliant (unless you have a problem with the Danes), but I've not heard such good things about the American remake.

Yeah it's the Danish version, I'm now about 9 episodes in & have to say it's worth sticking with! Really good stuff & some genuine cliffhangers!

Also features amazing jumpers!!!!!

Picked up The Killing on DVD, supposed to be ace isn't it? Watched the first episode & wasn't really sucked in.

Is it any good? Seems like a bit of a slow burner, worth the time?

Never been arsed to go on contract, but get myself an HTC Wildfire on 3.

It thinks it's more powerful than it actually is, no iPlayer?? Do one.
