Oh well.Some people are never satisfied.//
True, but I am not one of them.
//I was just trying to assist you see through those blinkers.!!//
I am not wearing blinkers.
// I thought the link provided the answer to your quest. //
My question elated to the wording of the OP, I am unlikely to find an answer in the link.
//I feel umbrage and protestation looming on the horizon.//
If that's how you feel, don't let me stop you.

bazwillrun - //Question Author
"you're not suggesting we should be apologists for criminal acts, are you Andy?"
he usually does...its the nature of the beast !//
I am not, and never have been an apologist for criminal acts - and if you have evidence on AB to back up your assertion, I would be interested to see it.

AOG - //Makes one wonder what these gangs get up to when they are not rioting and looting.//
The groups of people involved would not ordinarily be a 'gang' - this is a group of people protesting about what they perceive as an injustice.
That does not equate with them hanging around the rest of the time waiting for a new riot situation to crop up so they can join in.

whiskeyron - //It all makes me ask the simple question '' why are criminal gangs allowed to flourish'' ?. Surely if the authorities are aware of their existence it should not be too difficult to break them up. //
I don't think this is a 'criminal gang' scenario.
A lot of people who may not otherwise act like this have taken to the streets in protest at what they see as an injustice.
This action has in turn been hi-jacked by the villains who probably are in gangs, and enjoy mischief being made as an excuse to riot and loot - but I don't that that was how the situation started - it has sadly escalated into that scenario now.

On Monday morning, three of the city's most violent and dangerous gangs - Black Guerrilla Family, Crips and Blood - announced an unprecedented alliance to 'take out' law enforcement officers, in a move that has prompted fears for police safety across the country.

You don't appear to have read the Link Andy!
///The gangs - all rivals - announced they have entered into an alliance to 'take out' officers. According to Police Commissioner Anthony Batts, the department received intelligence that long-term rivals Bloods and Crips had a meeting in which they planned to kill one police officer each.///

AH
You earlier wanted an answer from bazwillrun. I merely answered a question from aog. I didn't mention "race" in my answer .You did.
//andy-hughes
retrocop - //aog
pimping and drug dealing!! //
Glad to see there is no crass racial stereotyping creeping into the debate.//
As you are a self proclaimed expert on the crime trends of the Metropolis perhaps you can explain what all the yardie gangs in Brixton,Stockwell.Peckham,Haringey etc are all about.Now as I walked the streets of London many years ago with my blinkers on I thought these yardies were protecting their turf from other gangs who wished to expand their drug dealing and pimping enterprise on other territory. Hence the rise in stabbings and shootings. All changed now though.The Eastern European GANGS are taking over the pimping and drugs.
Oh well Andy. What do I know about the ethnicity of modern day gangs with my blinkers on when you can educate me with your rose tinted spectacles.

retrocop - //clarification or confrontation? Your display of obtusity suggests the latter.! //
I think you have known me long enough to know by now that if I was instigating, or responding to confrontation, there would be nothing 'suggested' about it - so on this occasion, your conclusion is incorrect.
As is your reference to obtusity - definition - mentally slow or emotionally insensitive - I am neither, thank you.

Sorry, I am unable to oblige, because I am not an expert, and have never claimed to be, so quite where that perception comes from, I have no idea.
If I have a degree of knowledge or expertise in a subject being debated, I will comment accordingly, but 99% of the time, my opinions and thoughts are just that - opinions and thoughts, so I am not claiming superior knowledge at all, never have, never would.

Please see my response above.
I do like the blinkers / rose tinted spectacles interface though, clever.
Irrelevent - but clever.

well the dictionary gives:
Nature of the beast
certain aspects or traits of a person or thing that reveal themselves, either occasionally or on a regular basis.
and I dont doubt that Baz was referring to the regularity with which blacks die in police custody when they er shouldnt ( coz they walk in with no bullet holes and so on)
I wouldnt say nature of the beast as I dont think our wonderful police should be likened to well animals ( I always thought the word pigs was MOST insulting ) - but I would say completely depressingly predictable
along with pedestrian videos, gone are the days when the police say they thought he was armed or they thought they were under attack and erm get away with it
