ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

The subtext to posting that video is that Anderson is working it to the Kopite Chief Constable. No love lost there. I reckon Anderson rightly thinks Cooke has been avoiding policing the city while all this has been going on. Showing how Cooke let things get out of hand in the last few days and how it cost his officers is JA underlining that.

It was completely idiotic to carry on with the season, the problem is people are bored have nothing to do, mix that with all the political and social problems going on in the world and you have a deadly mix. When police officers are already stretched and you have braindead morons who can drink all day, common sense would tell you that this type of thing was going to happen. I don't think that we've seen the last of it, because people still have nothing to do and will get involved with stupid behaviour. During the crisis I have lost my faith in humanity the amount of idiots around is ridiculous and these idiots are allowed to vote it's no wonder we're in the mess we're in.
 
Playing devil’s advocate here, can anyone think of an incident in our 142 year history remotely approaching last night? It’s not blue-tinted spectacles but I can’t. Not even close. And this isn’t even in their top 3.
I know we have the odd whopper, but the RS have really cornered the market in weird, trampy losers. Totally different breed.

I’m advocating police using brutality against a violent criminal mob yes.

Did you see the Australian TV crew being mistakenly attacked by police outside the White House.

The correct tactics would have been to kettle in the yobs. Identify those committing criminal offences and send in snatch squads or arrest them in the coming days. Sadly the Police simply don't have the numbers to do that. They end up trying to pacify a baying mob simply because they are so outnumbered.

I can't mate.

And they did it in the middle of our own city as well.

They have enough tear gas for a few thousand sewer rats at pier head though.

In their history, can you think of any other events remotely approaching last night? Oh yes I can. A lot actually.

Football incidents are plentiful.

How many died at Munich ?
How many died at Ibrox ?
How many died at Bradford ?

I would be impressed if anyone knew the exact number off the top of their head.

I thought martial arts were supposedly the art of self-defence. So how can it be self-defence when you strike first. The authorities are having the pee taken out of them because they have slashed the funding for the Police and the government have shown that following the rules is optional.

We have a generation who have basically been allowed to make up their own rules.

I think you are mixing up martial arts with marital aids, which is what yer bird uses when I can't pop round and slot her.

The red Echo has been reporting these behaviours as 'traditional' for the past few years now.

They, and LFC, have to take some of the blame.

As the great Punk poet, John Cooper Clarke stated, 'like giving a lunatic a loaded gun'.

What do you expect.

Well to be honest I didn't expect anything else. But surely someone somewhere has got to finally question this journalism
