This is exactly the kind of thinking that the (notoriously (and institutionally) racist) Met used.
It seems like smart thinking to me, people were burning down and taking over chunks of cities in the US, personally I don’t want that happening in London and if it did would support the, well not very big guns in the grand scheme of things, being brought out. To be fair, I’d support them doing the same to far right protests if the same level of rioting took place.
