U.K. Police Chiefs Were Too Slow to React to Summer Riots, Report Says
Briefly

The report published by the institution overseeing policing in England revealed that the national mobilization of British police was delayed by three days during anti-immigration riots.
Intelligence assessments failed to predict the extent of the violence, which culminated in widespread unrest fueled by online misinformation regarding an attacker who killed three girls.
The National Police Chiefs' Council was criticized for its late response, with the review indicating a better-organized approach could have mitigated the violence that erupted.
Praising the bravery of police officers, the report also emphasized the need for a timely national strategic response in the face of escalated public disorder.
