UK detains 3,000 people in unrest
Press TV – August 14, 2011
Latest reports indicate that the British security forces have detained nearly 3,000 people since an unprecedented wave of unrest hit the United Kingdom.
The British courts are said to have worked around the clock over the weekend to process a third of the detainees.
Some reports put the number of those arrested during the ongoing unrest at 4,000.
A teenager and a young man have been charged with the murder of three Muslim men who were protecting their neighborhood in Birmingham.
Meanwhile, senior British officers are furious over British Prime Minister David Cameron’s decision to appoint an American police chief to advise them on crushing the wave of unrest and street gangs across the country.
President of the Association of Chief Police Officers Sir Hugh Orde has openly criticized Cameron’s appointment of former New York police commissioner Bill Bratton.
The unrest in Britain began on August 6 in the north London suburb of Tottenham, after a few hundred people gathered outside a police station to protest against the fatal shooting and killing of a black man, Mark Duggan, by the police.
Thereafter, violent protests erupted in major cities like Birmingham, Liverpool, and Bristol, contributing to Britain’s worst unrest since the 1980s.
London’s Metropolitan Police has announced that 16,000 police officers will be deployed on London streets. Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stephen Kavanagh also confirmed the prospects of police using baton rounds and plastic bullets.

“As Mr. Yakub continued to preach for converts, he told his people that he would make the others work for them. (This promise came to pass.) Naturally, there are always some people around who would like to have others do their work. Those are the ones who fell for Mr. Yakub’s teaching, 100 per cent.” — The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, chapter 55 of Message to the Blackman in America titled “The Making of Devil”
“Three blessings a Jewish man is obligated to pray daily: ‘(Blessed art Thou,) Who did not make me a gentile; Who did not make me a woman; and Who did not make me a slave.’” — Babylonian Talmud, Menahot 43b–44a
The story of the Jewish American experience that most Jews want to believe, and want the world to believe, is one of almost endless historical victimhood. They insist that they fled anti-Semitic oppression in Europe, landing safely on Ellis Island long after the Civil War’s end in 1865, and certainly some did. … continue

interestingly, we can find references to the London and other cities rioting in the U.K. on the web, but there were riots in Philadelphia, PA., and also in San Francisco, CA., and nary a word about the curfew and more or less Martial Law being imposed in those two cities since the riots occurred.
total media blackout. astonishing that even now the web is controlled by the illuminati to the extent they can totally quash the information about riots in two major U.S. cities that took place in the past 24 hours.
what does that tell you? it tells me the internet is also very compromised as a source of information now, that’s what it tells me. that soon it’ll be as fucked as the MSM is, and as co-opted.
