So if it turns out the gun Duggan had was used in 1,2,3 or 4 deaths wil everyone still think poor bloke.

I don't think "poor bloke", I just don't think the police should have shot him unless he was a threat to them or to the public at the time.

Why can't we machine gun down the rioters? Seriously who is gonna complain if they are all dead?

from the number of police on the streets i saw on my way home i very much doubt there will be much trouble tonight. If there is and 16000 police can't control the situation, then the army is perhaps called for, but as i say I doubt it will come to that.

Personally i don't think this has anything to do with race, i think it's mostly the youth problem. I think if you commit certain crimes before a certain age, or get expelled from school then you should be sent to a boot camp/national service type school, with no luxuries, a tough regime and taught respect. None of this pathetic, oh we can't touch kids nonsense. I see this as a result of PC gone too far and kids not fearing their peers, in fact it's now the other way around.

I just thought maybe we could exchange our government for Assad. He'd put an end to the looting in 24 hours.

Yes it does,I'm afraid.You don't have to point the gun at police to be shot.Even trying to grab it can be enough to be shot.

Well said sir

What complete idiot in the IPCC thought that releasing that information tonight was a good idea?

He was carrying a firearm on him. Surely that makes him threat?

The guy shot at police and one bullet has been found lodged in a police officers radio, now if that isn't enough to return fire I don't know what is...

Starting to get the feeling that none of the rioters are going to come out tonight. Just afraid that as soon as the 10 thousand extra police get reassigned over the next few days they'll come out again.

How do you know he wasn't a threat?

Do you honestly think the officer who pulled the trigger for the hell of it?

The only reason you would carry a gun or a knife is cos your a knob, plain and simple. These are highly trainied Policeman who dont fire guns for no reason.

I see the family coming out now, "someone must be made accountable for this" how about he does and they face up that a normal human being does not go around carrying a gun. He obviously is not a normal family man loved by all, he was well known to the police and had served time on remand. Didnt his brother get killed recently also?

So the IPCC said that the gezzer didnt fire off a shot,

Going to be 9/11 X 1,000,000 tonight now.

You're not really paying attention why these kids are running around looting and wrecking things are you?

It has nothing to do with the shooting.

They are doing it because they can, because they want to 'get paid' too. They're doing it because they're brought up to hate the police. They hate being stop searched, they love to abuse the police and cause trouble. They have no respect for other people, not even much respect for themselves and are perfectly happy to cause incredible amounts of damage, risk innocent peoples lives, assault police and loot with abundance.

There are thousands more who are seeing the police distracted and intentionally grouping up, driving to specific locations, breaking into premises and mass looting whatever they can get their hands on.

None of this has anything to do with the shooting and everything to do with them being disrespectful, lawless scum who do not deserve to live in this country, with the liberty millions died for.

Comparing the live feed of London last night compared to tonight's helicopter view ... seems like nothing is going on in London at least, good.
