England is finished

[STEED]

When I see news like this it only gives me more evidence that I am 100% right to say this country is finished and going down the pan. Why did no one step in to help the police? Answer, walk by sociality.

Police injured in litter mob attack

Two officers were injured when they were attacked by a mob after asking a teenage girl to pick up some litter she dropped.
Up to 30 teenagers attacked the two policemen after the teenager refused their request and became aggressive.
One of the officers required hospital treatment for a bite wound after the attack in North End, central Croydon, south London, on Wednesday afternoon.
Police said violence was sparked after the patrolling officers confronted the teenage girl at about 3pm.
They asked her to pick up a piece of litter which she did, but immediately dropped it on the ground again. When they asked her to pick it up again a friend with the girl became aggressive towards the officers.
A group of up to 30 teenagers gathered around the officers and attacked them. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the officers, aged 34 and 29, were on sick leave suffering from bruising and knee injuries.
A 15-year-old girl was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault. She has been released on police bail.
Two men aged 34 and 38, both from South Norwood, were arrested on suspicion of assault and violent disorder on Thursday.
Inspector Simon Ellingham said officers were examining CCTV footage from the area. He said: "We have heard from several retailers in the area who were horrified at the level of violence used by the crowd against the officers.
"If you were in North End, central Croydon, at around 3pm on Wednesday and saw anything of the incident, or have any information, please get in touch."
