US super-cop just Cameron's cop-out, claim cops

Following the unprecedented rioting witnessed across England last week, British Prime Minister David Cameron has announced plans for US police chief Bill Bratton to be a paid adviser to the UK government on 'gangs'.

British Police, quite rightly, are not impressed. Sir Hugh Orde, President of the Association of Chief Police Officers, said, 'I am not sure I want to learn about gangs from an area of America that has 400 of them. It seems to me, if you've got 400 gangs, then you're not being very effective.'
Perhaps Mr Bratton might learn something from us?

• 2772 people arrested within a week
• 1179 have appeared in court
• 65% of those charge remanded in custody
• rapid justice system
• 3 charged with the Birmingham murders
• Arsonist in court for burning Reeves Furniture Store
• Convicted people likely to lose benefits and council houses
• Who can forget #operationcupoftea? (Twitter)
• or #operationlondonriotscleanup? (@riotcleanup) (Twitter)
• Giant screen in Birmingham city centre with pictures of rioters to identify
• mums taking kids to the police after seeing them on TV

I'm sure there is more to add to the list, but I think you are beginning to get the point?

So, Mr Cameron, no doubt you will pay hundreds of thousands to Mr Big US cop who will no doubt finish his working holiday with the following expert advice:

'Guns man! Give the cops guns! Jeez, you can't deal with gangs without guns!!'
