(CNN) -- Three nights of violence in London have provoked a furious debate
in Britain about police readiness and riot control methods, with ordinary
citizens, newspapers and politicians calling for the use of rubber or
plastic bullets, water cannon and tear gas.
While tear gas and water cannon are frequently used in Europe, such riot
control methods are unknown in mainland Britain. Nor do police officers
carry firearms except in exceptional cases, usually related to terrorism
cases and combating armed gangs. Their normal arsenal in the face of public
disturbances amounts to batons and riot shields.
The top-selling tabloid newspaper The Sun asked Tuesday: "Where are the
water cannon and tear gas when yobs are burning cars and ransacking stores?
Both would be justified. Both would already have been used elsewhere."
