I saw a senior police rep. on tv today and he is a wuss.

Use Water Cannons, Tasers, tear gas and anything else known to subdue the
mindless looters. It worked in Northern Ireland during the "troubles",
with the exception of the taser.

No it didn't! What worked was when our leaders, T Blair mainly,
realised that there was no military solution to Northern Ireland,
recognised the atrocity of Bloody Sunday, and started talking to the
enemy.
