Maybe, but this doesn't bode well for the police. This will probably be used as an excuse for whatever may happen today.

Brace yourself London.

Hopefully the 'rioters' will won't hear about this for a while.

Waiting till enough people get so ****ed off that they'll take matters into their own hands.

Im quite surprised it hasnt started over here yet actually. Maybe its because our police are better prepared for riot situations?

Because he had a gun!?! Do you want him to fire first before the police?

Still don't care about Marc Duggan.

Trident officers aren't trying to stop you for no reason, he's certainly involved in some nasty stuff. If you disobey or do anything dodgy around armed police you may get shot.

As far as I'm concerned, if he even had that illegal firearm at any point there can be no complaints over what happened.

So how did the bullet become lodged in the radio?

Dunno for sure, there are reports that it was a police bullet fired by CO19 that passed through Mr Duggan and apparently ricocheted into another police officer's radio though.

uh maybe because an officer fired a shot at Mark and one also hit the officer? is that so hard to comprehend? friendly fire can and does happen.

christ these conspiracy theorists are a joke.

and whats this about the gun being found in a sock.

The deemed him to be a threat, we do not know the circumstances.

Sky have just made the point that at no point have the Police said Duggan fired a weapon.

I've disagreed with a lot Robbo has said in this thread, but I totally agree with this.
It isn't ever right for a member of the public to be walking around the street with a concealed handgun.

Even better news!

Greenwich Council says it will be seeking eviction of any council tenants if found to have been engaged in criminal activities. #londonriots

Croydon again? There isn't anything left for them there surely?

Apparently the word was they are aiming to attack anything that wasn't done last night, including spreading south through south croydon, purley, and coulsdon. Even some talk of Redhill.

I think that case is only of any relevance to the initial trouble in Tottenham, anything else is just thugs looting and rioting for the sake of not for any true grievance but simply because they can and think they'll get away with it.

I dunno you can call yourself the English defence legauge then not be around defending when somthing like this happens if you want to point score.

I agree.

The EDL are a bunch of limp wristed morons with chat far louder than their actions.

EDL are cowards.

Just got back from work & they were already boarding up windows in some of the shops in Bristol centre, including the big Debenhams store.

You leave my campaign for rubber bullets and tear gas out of this

Less of black gang culture.

He wasn't shot in the face either. It was those rumours that fuelled the initial Tottenham riot.

Darcus Howe, the life long aplologist for the black community, was still saying the above a couple of hours ago.

The police were slow off the mark in getting the facts out.

I'm almost surprised that it hasn't kicked off a bit in Glasgow. A 16 year old was arrested earlier on for trying to organise a riot over Facebook. Let's hope it stays down South and ends soon!

Though, they wouldn't start in Edinburgh. They shoot their cannon off every day to remind the Proles who's in charge.
