The crowds should hope they don't depoly the frequency weapons that will stop the violence in a moment on those targeted.
🚨 THE CLOCK IS TICKING
Governments can contain a riot.
They can deploy police.
They can make arrests.
What becomes far harder to contain is a growing belief among millions of people that nobody in power is listening.
From Belfast to Glasgow and beyond, the question is no longer whether there is public anger.
The question is how much further it spreads.
If the unrest fades, the government will claim victory.
If it continues to grow, this stops being a law-and-order issue and becomes a crisis of political legitimacy.
History shows that when governments lose the trust of the people, events can move very quickly.
The next few days may prove decisive.
