After the fatal shooting by police of a man in north London suburb of Tottenham, last Thursday was a crime wave is spreading to the rest of the capital and other major cities, with shops looted, cars burnt people fought and houses looted.
The shocking scenes led to a drastic rethink Olympic police, with one source revealing Yahoo Sports that representatives of the Games organizing committee LOCOG will meet with police, when the current carnage subsides.
The original plans I've seen about 9,000 police on the streets of London during the Olympic Games can be discarded, and the numbers of about 16,000 admitted to the emergency measures this week are now likely.
Olympic planning had before the proper functioning and the budget, but the spread of violence in the London Borough of Hackney, just steps from the brick central hub for the Games led to the anxiety and uncertainty under 12 months from the lighting of the flame.
London has not witnessed scenes like this anarchic at any time in recent history, the most worrying aspect is how the discord spread so fast and brutal. Just a few months of tributes to mark the royal wedding of Prince William and his wife the Duchess of Cambridge, the history of the proudest cities of the world fell to pieces before the eyes even of its citizens.
Horror stories of this article to a real break in the company were entertained: passers-by about undressing, while the clothes stolen by thugs, the victim of a beating from being stolen by the perpetrators to those who believe that helped him up. After the prime minister, David Cameron returned early vacation to Italy by the police on the streets, details emerged showing that a school employee, a driver and an 11-year-old were among those detained for looting.
Normally, the exercise may be the farthest thing from the minds of most of the time like this. E ', however, impressed by the way in this sport-obsessed nation, which has really brought home the scale of the crisis.
England football team saw its international matches against Holland at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday canceled a direct result of the riots, when the team gave mass appeal for calm. With the English Premier League season will begin on Saturday, there will be a huge cloud of uncertainty hanging over the game's opening weekend. Three of the EPL matches planned in London, where the capitals clubs Tottenham, Fulham and Queens Park Rangers (QPR), all due to play at home.
Discussions with the police will continue and a decision is scheduled for Thursday, the most games. "We have discussions in our club based in London, [and] ... the Metropolitan Police of fixtures the weekend," said the joint statement of the EPL and the Football League, which governs the three divisions below.
Tottenham White Hart Lane Stadium is less than a mile from where the riots began early Saturday, two days after Mark Duggan local man was killed and his locker was damaged in the scuffle that followed. Of all the games of the EPA, the clash with Everton Tottenham is more likely to be canceled, even the players own team calling for a postponement.
"It would be better to postpone the game due to the safety of fans, '" said the Tottenham defender Younes Kaboul.

A pre-Games tournament in beach volleyball at Horse Guards Parade landmark was completed in early so fans can return home more safely. There is also a pre-Olympic race to be held in the streets of London this weekend, which looks almost certain to be canceled.
IOC has strengthened his faith in the British police, but there is no doubt that LOCOG will want to act quickly to provide additional collateral.
However, the hard part is finding a balance between the need for a strong police presence, while preventing open and intrusive measures when the world comes to visit us. If so, they come to visit.
As the world record marathon Paula Radcliffe told the Daily Mail: "Less than a year, we welcome the world, and at this time will not come."
