LONDON – How can students easily threatened rampage British heir to the throne?
Government security officials had no quick answers to questions embarrassing Friday, amid media calls for officials to be fired and the slate of security experts in every aspect of near-disaster Thursday night.
Video and pictures from The Associated Press showed it. Angry student demonstrators, pumped up from the previous scuffle with police, looking for tasty target elsewhere: Prince Charles and wife Camilla, sitting in a vintage Rolls-Royce on their way to a charity event at a theater in London.
Some protesters chanted “Off with their heads!” Content destroying one of the rear car window and doused with white paint. AP picture shows Charles and Camilla was nervous but unharmed.
Buckingham Palace did not comment on security procedures for the government, but security experts say lucky son escaped without injury. They also identified a number of security failures surrounding the government outing – and warned that the procedure must be radically improved before Prince William wedding to Kate Middleton engagement at London’s Westminster Abbey on 29 April.
“It is potentially dangerous – it is dangerous,” said security analyst Charles Shoebridge, calling the attack “one of the most serious security breaches in the last decade.”
He said the government should take a couple of different routes in central London to the theater, or wait until the streets safe and clear of protesters or just sent regrets and canceled.
“The best way to avoid the subject of attack is to keep him from harm in the first place,” he said.
British police have been talking with government to ensure protection team said the pair did not come close to protest – and certainly not in a vintage Rolls-Royce, said Alex Bomberg, a former assistant to the royal family and the CEO of International Protection of Intelligence, Ltd.
Car-shaped box is the son does not have the speed and ability to maneuver and has a large clear windows with reinforced glass is not bulletproof. With two police motorcycles in front and a government official behind the Jaguar, the car instantly recognizable as a government vehicle.
“You can not go in the state of emergency in the 1977 vintage Rolls-Royce,” Bomberg says. “They should use something more energetic and up-to-date.”
Somehow, the protesters also managed to get the control of police and government cars.
London’s theater district is a maze of narrow one-way street and always crowded with tourists and theatergoers. Cars and taxis make their way through the area often with a speed of a snail’s crawl – to provide an easy target for attackers and even by foot.
Palladium Theater is the one-way street. Without a clear escape routes, vehicles and routes that should never be used, Bomberg said.
“You can not blame the government for protection squads bad behavior of a group of anarchists’,” Bomberg says. “But you can blame someone for not doing their jobs properly and did not understand the situation as it lasts bloody heads should roll person ..”
Bomberg said police, using a live video feed, to keep the squad from the protection of the government assessed the situation has stabilized and is ready to change plans at the time.
Although riot police used to try to stall in the student protests Thursday, very few British police carry guns. The prince was accompanied by armed security detail – and the situation can be improved quickly, Shoebridge said.
Metropolitan police chief pledged to investigate and British media raised questions whether the country needs to increase security measures by the government wedding. But experts have noted that greater resources be spent to protect the British government, and this time, a failure in execution.
“The safety of existing power sources should be used properly and that there are security protocols must be properly followed,” said Shoebridge.
Given the number of world leaders, governments, celebrities, tourists and spectators expected to descend on London for the marriage state, he said the police investigation into the clash on Thursday to be quickly and thoroughly so that changes can be directly inserted into place.
“If there is any silver lining, is that this incident provides a wake-up call to Scotland Yard to learn from this and past governments to ensure that marriages are free of problems,” said Shoebridge The Associated Press.
Metropolitan Police says too early to comment on the measures the government to marriage, but that officials have been working on a security plan for this event.
Style is said to have launched a “major criminal investigation” into violence on Thursday.
“It will focus on all the circumstances behind the violence and disorder seen to identify those responsible,” police said.
In the government’s previous safety violations, Princess Anne escaped from a failed kidnapping attempt in 1974 and shot dead six teenagers blank round at Queen Elizabeth II when he became a horse in the 1981 incident. In 1982, the queen awoke to find a strange man perched on her bed in Buckingham Palace but in the security call.
In 1994, a student is charged in the Charles while firing a gun from the time the ceremony in Sydney, Australia, and a comedian dressed as Osama bin Laden gatecrashed a birthday party to-21 Prince William at Windsor Castle in 2003.
Prime Minister David Cameron said police should learn from the incident, but stop blaming the police.
“Let us very clear about where responsibility lies,” said Cameron, speaking Friday in front of his office in Downing Street. “The responsibility for smashing hotel, or violence, lies with those who commit violence, and I want to see them arrested and punished.”
Chairman of the Metropolitan Police Paul Stephenson praised his officers for their bravery and said, handling nearly 3,000-strong contingent of student protests show restraint in dealing with the “thug.”
Police said 33 demonstrators were arrested, but would not say whether any arrests in connection with the attacks the government. Scotland Yard said most of those arrested have been released on bail.
Separately, Independent Police Complaints Commission, a regulatory policy, said it would investigate the case of Alfie Meadows, a student of 20 years who require emergency surgery for bleeding in the brain after an injury during a protest on Thursday. His mother said she was hit by police batons.
He was among more than 40 students and 12 police were injured during the protests.
