Sky's crime correspondent Martin Brunt said the Met was
considering a change of tactics and that officers may even be issued with
plastic bullets.
Brunt said: "Police have promised to swamp the streets and act tougher if
there's another night of rioting in the capital.
"A change in tactics could include the use of plastic bullets (baton rounds)
to clear looters and vandals.
"Such a weapon has been available to police in the past three nights, but
commanders have resisted using them."
