Riots in Leeds

The videos I saw (on TousiTv who seemed to get there first by a long way) they were not targeting the local buildings, most of the energy was aimed at stoning police and their vans, which would explain why the police withdrew and left the locals to manage the situation, which they seemed to, i.e. the police were the main target not local infrastructure.
Can anyone explain why they were doing this?

The jury is still out on Labour.
Extinction Rebellion people who seriously affected other people's lives protesting about what they believe in are going to jail.
The videos clearly show people without masks throwing stones at police vans and setting fire to vehicles or looting. If the law applies to all equally we should see prosecutions.

Glib, but they prob don't have much love for the police. Local police relationships can vary wildly especially in areas of notable poverty and multiple cultures making communication frustrating and it only take a few nasty or misreported incidents (like here) to get a community seething and the emergency services to start treating them like 2nd class citizens in response, I've seen it up front many times.
I once took a fall in a friends house and burst my head open but was pretty shocked to find that the ambulance refused to attend until the police had attended to secure they area, none of us were in trouble, it was literally the postcode and sending beat cops with a chip on their shoulder to a serious injury went about as well as you'd expect, they tried to arrest my friends accusing them of harming me based on 0, that's the sort of incidents people remember the next time they see the flashing lights.
There's streets and estates up and down the country where the emergency services don't respond alone or at all and has been for decades, nothing to do with immigrants, white kids can be wee stone throwing monsters too. Setting a car/bin on fire and pelting the crew with stones when they arrive was seen by some as a bit of fun on a quiet night.

Many have already been arrested, others will follow over the next few days.
A child is thrown out a window, and people are outraged SS come along to take care of the child ??

On MSM a lot of time is being spent trying to exlain the subsequent riots but I personalIy have not heard an explanation of the Leeds riot
. I watched it on videos and it was not "a handful", it was at least a 100 people throwing stuff at the police and their vans, overturning cars etc.
Can someone explain this behaviour?

I could be wrong, but think we've been lightly asked to not discuss these divisive topics for now till the whole results thing is done with, mods getting tired of these threads and the people they attract etc.
