BBC News - PM accuses Farage of exploiting Nowak case and denies 'two-tier policing' claim
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgz23p8117o

Alexis Boon describes the scenes on the streets of Southampton on Tuesday night as "disgraceful", and says people arrived "intent" on violence and causing damage.

He says he "feels really sorry" for the community, and that his force put a "robust and good policing operation together".

Officers worked "bravely and courageously" to protect the community despite having missiles thrown at them and suffering "horrible abuse", he says.

They did their job "very successfully", he adds.

The Hampshire Police chief constable is asked about Reform UK leader Nigel Farage's call for "pure cold rage" in response to the incident.

Boon says it's "not for me" to comment on individual politicians, but adds that they have "a level of responsibility" - and most "would not want to see" that violence and disorder on the streets.

Officers need to be held to account, he says, but they also need support from politicians.

Unarmed crowd can't do much.
Why do you think the race is on to disarm America.
Because this will be next for us, otherwise.
