Anyone watching the public disorder in Leeds? Bloody disgusting behaviour. Animals. AIBU to wish police had so many more resources to bring consequences to these absolute excuses for humanity?

Police car flipped on to its side as unrest breaks out in Leeds (msn.com)

Not terribly clear yet what's going on

Watching the burning bus right now, hope the driver is OK! It's like the Purge and I don't see how this is 'supporting the family' at all, which is what the Tiktokers are claiming

But yes it's appalling that people think it's acceptable to act like that. There's even women and kids damaging police cars. And lots of people stood around watching and filming?! Anyone involved should be arrested, fined and charged. But I doubt that will happen and most will get no punishment as usual.

I hope all SW’s and emergency workers are ok.

Sounds feral.

What has caused it?

Social services went to a house where young kids had been left alone and a baby had fallen out of a window and been injured. Police had to come and help as family kicking off. Children removed to a safer location due to tension. Then the riots began. But they are setting fire to double decker buses, next to people’s houses… setting fire to e-bikes, wheelie bins, police cars..it’s just infuriating to watch

Apparently a child was injured and social services took them away to safety. That's only what I've read on social media though.

No idea what it's all about but it's all over Tiktok
