Tensions have deepened in the UK between politicians and police over the recent street mayhem which saw more than one thousand six hundred arrests. David Cameron said the police made mistakes with the tactics. But top cops hit back, slamming the Prime Minister for claiming credit for quelling the rioters. Instead they said the return of the politicians from their holidays didn’t make any difference. In a move that’s only likely to add fuel to the flames, Cameron’s now turned to the advice of U.S. police chiefs, on how to tackle gang violence. Jeremy Corbyn from the UK Labour Party says there’s a whole list of measures currently on the table which will only make a bad situation worse.

In the Gallery: Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan talk about Breaking The Sound Barrier. Amy Goodman, award-winning host of the daily internationally broadcast radio and television program “Democracy Now”, breaks through the corporate media’s lies, sound bites, and silence in this wide-ranging new collection of articles.
In place of the usual suspects—the “experts” who, in Goodman’s words, “know so little about so much, explain the world to us, and get it so wrong”—this accessible, lively collection allows the voices the corporate media exclude and ignore to be heard loud and clear.
From community organizers in New Orleans, to the courageous American soldiers who’ve said “No” to Washington’s wars, to the victims of torture and police violence, we are given the extraordinary opportunity to hear ordinary people standing up and speaking out. – Book Passage
