London riots: Cameron vows ‘fightback’ amid public debate over police response
http://www.washingtonpost.com/world...8/10/gIQA9z2O6I_story.html?wprss=rss_homepage
时间不多，摘译几段
LONDON — Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday said “nothing is off the table” to regain control of British streets — telling the nation that rubber bullets had been authorized and water cannons were on standby after violence and looting hit Manchester, Birmingham and other British cities.
首相大卫 卡梅隆周三宣布他将动用一切可能的力量夺回英国街头的控制权。打砸抢烧蔓延到曼彻斯特、伯明翰以及其它城市之后，首相向全国宣称橡皮子弹已获批、高压水炮也已随时待命。
More than at any time since the riots began, Cameron talked tough. He said it was clear something was “sick” within British society, calling the crisis “a moral problem as much as a political problem.”
这是骚乱暴发已来，卡梅隆最为强硬的讲话。他指出英国社会当中有些东西明显是＂病态的＂，将此次危机斥为＂道德问题同时也是政治问题＂。
In an effort to track down offenders, he vowed to publish images of rioters captured by closed circuit cameras, and not to “let any phony concerns about human rights get in the way.”
为追究犯罪分子，首相发誓要将监控摄像头录下的暴乱人员面目公之于众，并且绝不会让＂虚伪的人权关注挡道＂。
…
The YouGov poll published by the Sun newspaper on Wednesday showed 90 percent of Britons calling for the use of water cannons, 77 percent supporting the deployment of the army and 33 percent saying police should be permitted to fire live ammunition at rioters.

LONDON — Facing a public backlash against police restraint during four nights of rioting, Prime Minister David Cameron offered his toughest line yet on the violence, saying Wednesday that officers were authorized to use rubber bullets and water cannons in what he described as a “fightback” to retake English streets.
His comments came as Britain, a nation of laws and a leading critic of crackdowns by totalitarian governments overseas, engaged in a heated debate over the methods it should use to combat lawlessness at home. As reinforcements were rushed to bolster police forces overwhelmed on Tuesday in Manchester and Birmingham, officials also warned that frustrated citizens were grouping together and sliding into vigilantism.
As of late Wednesday, however, much of the country appeared calm, with stores reopening in some hard-hit neighborhoods, albeit with a large police presence on the streets. But many people still spoke of a sense of fear after the most deadly night of the riots yet, with authorities in Birmingham calling for calm amid worries about rising racial tensions after a fatal incident.
Late Tuesday, a car carrying alleged looters ran over and killed three South Asian men who were out protecting their neighborhood. Birmingham police arrested a suspect; though they did not disclose his race, missives circulating on Twitter said the driver was black, ratcheting up local tensions.
Among the dead was a 21-year-old whose father, Tariq Jahan, gave him CPR on the scene only to watch him die. In an emotional appeal, Jahan begged for an end to the violence, saying the tragedy should become a turning point for peace and not a rallying cry for “revenge.”
“I can’t describe what it is like to lose your son,” he said. “I don’t know what is happening to England and why innocent people have to die.”
He later added, “Blacks, Asian, whites, we all live in the same community, why do we have to kill one another?” He asked that everyone honor his son by “not going out tonight.”
Addressing public anger
Almost since the riots began after the fatal police shooting of a black resident of north London last week, critics have called for a tougher response to the rash of disturbances that has sullied Britain’s image less than a year before London is set to host the 2012 Olympic Games.
Underscoring the public anger, a YouGov poll for the Sun newspaper published Wednesday showed 90 percent of those surveyed calling for the use of water cannons against rioters, 77 percent supporting the deployment of the army and 33 percent saying police should be permitted to fire live ammunition.
A majority — 57 percent — said Cameron had been managing the crisis poorly, an impression he apparently sought to dispel Wednesday. “There are pockets of our society that are not just broken but frankly sick,” Cameron said, pledging that “nothing is off the table” to halt the violence and catch looters. He said he would move to publish images of of rioters captured by surveillance cameras, without “any phony concerns about human rights getting in the way.”
The root cause of the riots, Cameron said, “is a compete lack of responsibility in parts of our society. People are allowed to feel that the world owes them something, that their rights outweigh their responsibilities and that their actions do not have consequences. Well, they do have consequences.”
On Wednesday, police appeared to be launching a more aggressive effort to track down looters, with footage showing Manchester police rounding up suspects after a gang of youths set fire to a retail store, vandalized businesses and engaged in running battles with officers Tuesday night. Yet those images, circulating on the Internet, were taken by some as evidence that Manchester police had begun using heavy-handed tactics.
With more than 1,200 people arrested nationwide and London jails filled to capacity, the courts were working into the night to process detainees.
Some of those arrested are as young as 11. But others have turned out not to be lost youths, as they have been portrayed over the course of the riots. British tabloids were quick to name and shame a 31-year-old elementary school tutor with a $1,600 monthly salary who was caught looting an electronics shop.
Cameron said harsher tactics — although authorized — would be deployed only if necessary. But police officials also suggested that the kind of methods the prime minister discussed may be inappropriate.
Sir Hugh Orde, head of Britain’s Association of Chief Police Officers, sought to defend law enforcement tactics used thus far and to tone down the tough talk coming from political leaders. He warned that water cannons, in particular, would be useless in the kind of fast-moving cat-and-mouse games that rioters have been playing with police and that rubber bullets should be deployed only in situations in which officers are coming under live fire.
He appeared to remind the nation that social disturbances are handled differently in democracies.
“We’ll do it in the British style,” Orde told the BBC. “With a minimal use of force.”
Fears of vigilantism
Though many concede that the police were simply overwhelmed by the scale of the violence in the first 48 hours of the rioting, some critics have continued to call the law enforcement response “timid.” In October, a police officer is set to stand trial for pushing a man during a protest in London in 2009, leading to his death. Some have said that the charges against that officer have discouraged more aggressive police tactics in the past four days.
Regardless, some frustrated residents have opted to protect the streets themselves, leading authorities to warn against a wave of vigilantes. On Monday night in the Stoke Newington neighborhood of London, for instance, a group of Turkish waiters and shop owners banded together to chase off a gang of rioters. A Sikh temple in west London has rallied hundreds of faithful to protect the streets in its community, including burly members of the congregation toting cricket bats.
In the Enfield neighborhood of north London, where looters set ablaze a Sony distribution center, robbing dozens of workers of jobs, hundreds of furious residents have organized to help police patrol the neighborhood.
Bob Barnard, owner of an Enfield jewelry store for 30 years who lost $8,000 worth of merchandise in looting Monday night, said, “I think everybody feels the police have backed off.” He added, “We’ve had 1,500 people on the streets declaring they would protect their own area. . . . Had the police done the job the way they should have, they would not have to do it.”

根据需要，人权在“普世最高价值”和“虚伪关注”之间摇摆
面具快戴不住了，英国人就是靠海盗抢劫起家的，靠殖民贩奴种鸦片发家的，文明了近代几十年就把老祖宗干过的那些肮脏的都洗的一干二净了？纵观英国殖民历史，扒去伪善的皮，乃是强盗本色。
英国首相讲，人权可以是虚伪的和可抛弃的。
我想听听精英们不同的看法，
精英有木有？
精英死绝了吗？
出来一个解惑精英啊。
英国，请停下你追逐财富的脚步，等一等你的人民，等一等你的灵魂，等一等你的道德，等一等你的良知！不要让没有经济来源黑人只能靠抢劫生存，不要让被歧视穆斯林只能用暴力还击，不要让失去工作的红脖子只能拿低保和大麻活下去。慢点走，让每一个生命都享有自由和尊严。每一个个体，都不应该被这个时代抛弃。
呼吁英国政府给予追求自由的民众合法合理的辩护权，呼吁世界各国有良知的民众对被英国政府非法逮捕的自由民众提供必要的跨国法律援助。
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
