We were left exposed in carnival riot, say police
2008
Overview
Today, defending his tactics, he said the timing of deployment of officers in protective clothing was difficult and could even increase the level of disorder if wrong. \"No event commander would place public perception above public and officer safety but the timing of such a deployment is always a challenging one,\" said Mr [Chris Allison].. The post said: \"Our kit was on a coach somewhere and at no point did we have access to shields on the coach. There was specific intent to seriously injure police officers and yet again we as an organisation failed to protect ourselves from members of the public.\" It was claimed teams from the Met's Territorial Support Group, who deal with serious public disorder, only came to assist an hour later, but they initially had no shields or helmets either.
