New British Police Guidelines

According to Theresa May, British Secretary of State for the Home Department, British police should be able to use stricter methods in suppressing rioters, and the authorities fully support any new standards, if the use of force is reasonable and within existing legal limits. Speaking in London before the press and police officers, May appealed to the governing bodies of the various police services with a request to develop new guidelines for operations, after the recent riots and looting in the streets of London and other British cities. Critics faulted the government for not allowing the police to contain the rioters in these altercations, as the police are “reluctant” to apply more stringent tactics without orders. May said, “According to past experience, we know that the police face charges of abuse if they use overly-harsh tactics, but they also face criticism if they’re perceived as too lenient”.

On Thursday, Aleksandr Pereshchuk, the head of the MVDU in Kiev, said at a briefing that clashes on the Maidan in Kiev injured fifty members of the Kiev-1 and Kiev-2 Battalions. They fought residents of the tent camp on the square whilst attempting to dismantle the barricades and tents erected by the protestors. The security forces came to the Maidan to dismantle the barricades, but ran into resistance from activists. This led to scuffles, firecrackers went off, and the activists burned tyres in several places on Kreshchatik Street. Pereshchuk noted, “Today, not one policeman nor any member of the MVDU battalions discharged a firearm nor applied undue force. However, we did have 50 members injured; three or four of them are in hospital in critical condition after activists assaulted them with thrown stones. The injured are from the MVDU Kiev-1 and Kiev-2 Battalions. Besides this, the opposition activists assaulted public works employees, taking over about seven utility vehicles”.

Look at the image… these jabronies are unprofessional untrained Euromaidantsy terrorists in uniform masquerading as security troops. No self-respecting Berkutovets would’ve acted as these slugs did. Note that some don’t wear proper protective headgear and that they’re not in a proper phalanx-style formation to face a hostile mob (and protect themselves with interlocked shields). In short, look at the utter incompetence of the Uniate junta! The Galician hillbillies do it again… they’re a bunch of nasty-minded unlettered Homer n’ Jethros attempting to ram their backwoods ways on everyone else. The Berkutovtsy never had such casualties… they were real stand-up guys; they were real pros with real training, they weren’t dreamy nationalists with oddbod ideas from isolated “hollers” in the Galician back of the beyond. Jethro Bodine and Pee Wee Herman would’ve run this operation better. The junta can’t even police its own streets properly… they aren’t long for this world…
