| Subject: US supercop blames riots on 'vacuum of public safety' Wed Oct 12, 2011 3:56 am | |
| A "vacuum of public safety" in Britain allowed August's riots to escalate out of control, US "supercop" Bill Bratton has said.
He told BBC Newsnight: "In certain areas it was perceived that the police were not there and anything goes."
The former police chief - who cut gang violence in some of America's toughest inner cities - is in the UK to advise the government on police strategy.
On Monday he was briefed by the new Met Commissioner, Bernard Hogan-Howe.
In an exclusive interview with Newsnight immediately after their meeting, Mr Bratton said: "So many people got involved so quickly in so many places that they took advantage of a vacuum of public safety."
