This is what I find very disturbing; Political leaders that make the 'easy wrong' decision rather than the 'hard right.' I am willing to bet the London street cops are disgusted, especially if they were instructed to avoid at all costs, 'escalating' the situation.

It is a sad day when we allow the thugs to run amok in order to minimize the risk of the thugs running amok.
