Mob attacks officers over litter
Two police officers were attacked by a mob in south London when they asked a 15-year-old girl to pick up some litter she dropped.

Metropolitan Police said one of the officers suffered injuries including a bite wound in the attack in Northend in Croydon, on Wednesday afternoon.

Up to 30 people attacked the officers when the girl refused to pick up the litter and became aggressive.

A girl who was arrested on suspicion of assault has been released on bail.

Two men, aged 34 and 38 and both from South Norwood, were held on Thursday morning on suspicion of assault and violent disorder.

We have heard from several retailers in the area who were horrified at the level of violence used by the crowd against the officers

Insp Simon Ellingham

Police said the girl initially picked up the litter when asked by the patrolling officers, but immediately dropped it again sparking a confrontation leading to the attack.

The officers, aged 34 and 29, who suffered bruising and knee injuries, were currently on sick leave, police said.

And the 34-year-old officer who received the bite wound required hospital treatment.

Officers have been examining CCTV footage from the area.

Insp Simon Ellingham said: "We have heard from several retailers in the area who were horrified at the level of violence used by the crowd against the officers."

If the above isn't an indication of the break down of society then god knows what is.

More the consequence of a police state - where the people see the police as government agents rather than their protectors methinks. Although it is a breakdown of society too.

There is a right way and a wrong way to deal with the public and some police officers haven't got a clue but many teenagers today have the social skills of a rabid hyena and like hyenas attack in packs
It is time discipline was brought back in schools and effective punishments given also time that senior police officers woke up and got their collective backsides in gear

The PC brigade have appeased these **** for far too long, it is now time for the "Olive Branch" to be turned into the "Birch" for both sexes! Start with six strokes and double it for every offence committed afterwards! The **** look upon "kindness" as a soft touch, they only understand violence!

If Britain was a police state as quoted by idiotic poster number two they mob would have been shot, or disapeared.

I believe this was over a litter offence, i just wonder what colour the members of the mob were.

What does it matter what colour they were unless of course you are a racist bigot trying to make capital and promote your "views"

You can bet if the kids were white and the cops involved black their colour would matter an awful lot to the media. It would be plastered all over the the place.

Ethnic minorities punch massively over their alleged 8% of the total population. But hey if my facts are wrong you go ahead and tell me my tofu munching friend.

Then they are just as bad

I don't eat tofu and I doubt that we could ever be friends on the evidence so far

Very true, my friends are intelligent, so my non tofu lefty friend so do you deny that black people are more disposed to violent crime or not?

Please do correct by biggotted ideas, but i note you didnt because you cant.

It is almost a certainty that having taken place in South London, that the cops were white and that the assailants were black. That this is not being treated as a racist crime, as Cpt Nasty suggests, only highlights the problems liberals have when coming face to face with the devil of their own creation in crimes committed by non-European colonists and their unruly descendents, hence "operation trident".

Even the whole subject of knife crime, especially in the various multi ethnic paradises we now call urban England, is almost without parallel, a particularly nasty Afro-Caribbean issue that is prevalent amongst the males of that community.
