"The riots began as a peaceful protest against the death of Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old man and father of four, who was killed Thursday in Tottenham by officers from the Trident unit of the Metropolitan Police, which investigates gun crime, according to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, an external government body which regulates the police. "

So the guy that was shot was a family man of 4?
 
Guys its all sorted. There is a PM meeting tomorrow at 9am, problem solved.

Yeah we had a little laugh at that too when mentioned on the BBC News this evening. It was said in such a way as to be reassuring.

If the PM authorises the use of water cannons then great.

Seriously, people are losing their homes, the police are out-numbered and scared. We watched a clip earlier and they looked (quite rightfully) frightened.

What an absolute mess.

Edit - looking forward to my commute tomorrow - not.
 
You might think this is a nitpick too but the police never said he fired at them either.
I didn't say that they did, but the Met took advantage of the usual confusion that surrounds these situations. They would have known as soon as the suspect's gun was recovered that it hadn't been fired, but allowed the media to run wild with 'BRAVE OFFICER SHOT BY GANGSTA' and possibly unofficially encouraged it (as they did with De Menezes).

So far unless something has changed that was purely speculation by the guardian because it was a hollow point round.
The Times led on that story and it was almost definitely leaked to them by the IPCC.

Police use hollow point rounds ?
CO19 use them, presumably because there are many situations in London where you would want a bullet to be stopped by the first thing it hit.
 
Well, we're already seeing some balls being grown in asian/turk areas, but I hope to see the balls spread into other areas.

Good on them.

They are doing it because they haven't been liberalised yet (i.e. losing all dignity, backbone, self pride, self belief and self worth) good on them.

Are we allowed to get our army on our 'own' people? Probably already been covered but I am not looking through 187 pages
As far as I know, we DO NOT have the same philopshy/law as the Americans do. We CAN deploy the military within our borders.
