'Rioters will lynch journalists if police get access to raw footage'

London Metropolitan police have reportedly urged British media outlets to hand over footage of the riots that swept the capital in early August voluntarily, without recourse to official procedures. ­Police say the images could help them identify criminals, and have vowed to obtain the footage through court action if the broadcasters and newspapers do not comply. Officers have been approaching media corps privately, appealing to their sense of social responsibility. According to the Guardian newspaper, the police want to get their hands on all the material British newspapers and broadcasters have shot, regardless of whether the material has been published or not.

Twat who doesn't care about this country... Just wants to 2 minutes of fame as a real journalist not as a cameraman. LOL at the fact he had notes. At the Bill couldn't give a shit anymore and ended it LOL

Do the journalists care about their country.

If they do, they should be giving any kind of incriminating videos they can.

The more rioters that are paying for their crimes, the less apt they are to riot again.

Except for the stinking muslims. They would enjoy causing more trouble. We all know that.

One thing Cameron has done is he has AWOKE a lot of 21-35 yr olds who were never interested in politics to wanting to know everything that's happening.

I just feel bad for all the clueless arseholes who BACK Cameron.

@dgl1962

do you have any proof of this 'white women getting raped by black men' epidemic? Or do you believe that this sort of behaviour is somehow genetic or something inherited in the DNA?
