Nah, they weren't rioting for nothing - they were rioting because a line was crossed.

If they let the PM push things through in that way, the battlelines will just be around a more important issue, and they'll be in a much weaker position

Cops murdering a child isn't "literally nothing", it's a very good reason to riot. Just because it happens so often here that we're desensitized doesn't make it any less abhorrent.

I know that a kid being shot for refusing to comply is an everyday occurrence for Americans, so nothing. But here it's, if anything, a dangerous precedent, and people would rather make it loud and clear that they don't want authority holders to start acting like cow-boys.
