Mob Attacks Brit Police Officers For Being Snarky

Two police officers are on sick leave after being attacked by a mob in south London after they asked a 15-year-old girl to pick up her litter. One officer was dragged to the ground and kicked while the other was bitten by a girl who jumped on his back.

Up to 30 people took part in the attack, which happened in North End, Croydon, on Wednesday afternoon. A girl who was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault has been released on bail. Two men, aged 34 and 38 and both from South Norwood, south London, have been arrested on suspicion of assault and violent disorder.

Trouble flared when the 15-year-old threw her food wrapper back on to the ground and became aggressive. Police said the girl initially picked up the fast food wrapper when asked by the patrolling officers, but immediately dropped it again sparking the confrontation.

The officers, aged 34 and 29, suffered bruising and knee injuries and are currently on sick leave. The officer who received the bite wound required hospital treatment.

Officers have been examining CCTV footage from the area. Insp Simon Ellingham said: "We have heard from several retailers in the area who were horrified at the level of violence used by the crowd against the officers."
Which is, of course, an utterly meaningless thing to add.

#6 Enoch Powell tried to tell them what the end result of their immigration policies would be. He was cursed and vilified for his pains, but he was absolutely right.

In the days of the Empire, Britain used to export law and order to violent parts of the globe. Now that the Empire is gone, Britain is shown to have imported anarchy and disorder from those violent places to its own shores.

Diversity is all too often a recipe for disastrous social violence. It certainly isn't the unmixed blessing its proponents on the left claim it to be. Note carefully the fact that most of its white adherents live in areas where they don't have to live with its consequences.

#7 I wonder if this could be the beginning of the backlash against the 'Nanny State'? Per this article, I'm guessing no, based on what looks like a racial situation.

That said, further incidents such as this won't surprise me.
