        @BBCBreaking It is very difficult to rule without aligning with public. A good lesson to governments all over the world.

        @BBCBreaking Would love to know how many of these people are actually 'angry' and 'upset' and not just looking for an excuse to be violent.

        @BBCBreaking Just a thought - if the police stayed off the streets, who, if anyone, would the rioters target?

        @BBCBreaking when a community feels they are betrayed and have no other recourse what is expected? Flags not an issue per se, more a symptom
