Caring citizens offer tea to British riot police [London, England, 2011]


Riots over a police shooting in England were quickly used as an excuse to loot by small numbers of protesters in cities across the country. Six deaths were reported, all inflicted by looters. The violence lacked popular support, resulting in many scenes of police and public cooperation.

Re: 35 Moments Of Violence That Brought Out Incredible Human Compassio

Why is it that all these are related to protests and anti-government activities. What, humans are incapable of compassion outside this field :lol:

And "Young protester embraces police officer"...
hmmm

Doesn't seem like incredible compassion there.


@sorcerer : I appreciate your thought

But Silly Western media is silly.

Re: 35 Moments Of Violence That Brought Out Incredible Human Compassio

What we see on the news media is basically all the fighting and politics.
Pics like these kinda brings a glimpse into a different phase of humans in the center of conflict zone,.
May be it doesnt matter much when you take the nature of protest and the seriousness of it, but still, it says a lot.
