My 2nd cousin is now a copper and I would not have wanted him involved in that policing effort. It was under-manned, underestimated, poorly planned & badly mismanaged on the day/night.

I feel sorry for the average coppers involved who, for the most part, would have been thoroughly outnumbered by a hostile mob with no 'rules of engagement' like the police have to ab\ide by.
