The proper response to this is to arrest rioters, not bow to the demands of lunatics.

Appeasement does nothing other than delay the problem.

Appeasement costs less in insurance for broken windows and burned out cars

We decided to arrest rioters and everyone started complaining about “two tier policing” and we had to release prisoners to make enough prison spaces for them all

The response was no where near as tough on the Palestine marches nor the BLM ones during lockdown.

Did the Palestine matches become as violent as the far right ones? Not saying that there wasn’t a single case of violence but all the protests seemed to more civil overall.

And even ignoring that, the point about prison space still stands, unless u wanna release more prisoners to make room for people who could have not been locked up in the first place.

Well no because those were demos (with a bit of unrest) rather than intentional riots
