In nearly every major riot over the last 40 years, Corbyn has either supported the rioters or castigated the police.

For example Corbyn campaigned for the 'rioters' who in 2009 attacked Downing St & the Israeli embassy. 1/10

Of course Corbyn himself was at this event and was one of the rabble-rousers who spurred on the crowd. 2

During the 1994 Hyde Park riots, Corbyn who had chaired the demo said:

"The police deliberately charged the demonstrators"

And "blamed police incompetence for the way in which the demonstration erupted into violence." 3
During the Wapping riots in 87 Corbyn claimed that:

"completely unprovoked dragoon-like charge was mounted by the police"

"witnessed the police line up in ranks as if preparing for medieval battle."

Take a look at the groups that Corbyn was rubbing shoulders with at Wapping. 4
During the miners' strike, Corbyn supported and campaigned for the release of the most violent, and thuggish of the strikers, like Terry French. 5
Corbyn on the Handsworth riots in 85:

'The press and media reporting has been overwhelmingly racist and pro-authoritarian state in its analysis of the events in Birmingham.

'is a prelude to some very vicious Law & Order legislation to be introduced". 6
I suppose that was an improvement on his views of the Brixton riots of 81, where as part of the editorial board he called for better rioting next time. 7

Corbyn's sympathies are always with the rioters. Even in 2011 he blamed the rioters actions on:

the media "extolling the killing of Afghan and Iraqi people feeds into a psyche accepting that violence is justified" 8
Corbyn's always knows what will solve crime & it's not 'by increased spending on the police & law & order'.
'The way to solve these problems was by political will and socialist policies.'

We have been warned, we are not safe under Corbyn. 9/9 #GE19 #NeverCorbyn
