Fingers Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Because they'e busy cutting the number of police officers (source the times 24/02/09) But the cuts which are, according to The Times, planned by police forces haven't happened yet whilst the abolition of corporal punishment in schools (which has often been claimed to be the cause of poor discipline in schools) happened in 1986 so I'll ask the question again: why aren't riot police being called to every school in the country? Riot police aren't called to schools very often and when I have heard of cases of large-scale disorder in schools it has been in schools in particularly rough areas.

As for calling riot police in to all schools i'm certain there would be uproar with all the usuall do-gooders/tree huggers claiming civil rights infringement, suing the schools and police forces because our "tarquin" can't sleep at night for fear of living in an oppressed state, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimsid2000 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 That's nothing - over 30 riot police in full riot gear and troops have just been called to a whist drive in Dore. I don't know the details but it looks like some sort of trouble kicked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tfran Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 "A Sheffield Park Academy spokesman added: "We are co-operating with the police following an alleged incident that took place off site after school. As always, the safety of our students remains our main priority." An "alleged" incident? surely there's nothing alleged about it? As to the safety of students remaining their main priority? Well that's good to know then - pity it wasn't a priority before what ever's alleged happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuey Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I think its good the police are taking this seriously. Racist attacks are all too common these days and the people involved in this once should have the law make an example of them. Maybe then people will understand its not acceptable to beat someone to a pulp just because of the colour of their skin. I think your missing some of the point. It was Asian lads this time but its often the other way round. It is this divsion between groups that is the problem. BOTH sides need to be dealt with. It may be racisit but its not just white against black its also black against white. Unfortunately this is an uncomfortable fact that you don't hear the muslim "community leaders" talking about. If you only deal with the white on black issue then all you do is fuel the idea that there is an inequality in the way people are treated, thus fueling more violence.

Yakubu Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 So why aren't riot police being called to every school in the country? Not every school is on The Manor is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are thousands of state schools in England and they are all governed by the same set of laws. If there is serious disorder at a school teachers, pupils, parents or local residents can call the police and if the police deem it necessary they can send the riot squad. However, this happens very rarely and when it does happen it tends to be in very rough areas so my point is that the cause of the problem is not the laws or the people who passed those laws: the cause of the problem is violent people and some places and families seem to have a lot more of them than others.

Paul2412 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Really sad! Both been treated with broken nose etc! Sad things went this far! Reading the comments on the Star, how sad that people on there 'if they are white would it have been deemed racist' crap. They have a point though.
