Yeah, I read this Friday and was going to post a link and got distracted by something else.
Cameron just hired a special police consultant a so called expert in gangs and street violence from the US. He is a former NYC commissioner.
This is a perfect appointment to criminalize the poor and discontent, US style.Forget Oscar Grant and dozen or so police shootings.
There is a community answer. The Panthers carried out police patrols to monitor police activity and you can bet if they or some other group was doing the same thing now, Grant would still be alive. The Egyptians had informal security patrols that probably did a lot to keep the casualties from being higher.
