Riots in Tottenham, London! (NO RACIST COMMENTS)

I meant what will the people who used the incident originally as a reason to riot think. Surely it's just adding fuel to the fire?

Anyone got any live video footage? seems BBC/SKY keep going down the line of phone calls to people there

Nope, if anything big kick off it'll be on sky though like last night.

I heard all matches have been postponed/cancelled

Yup. It happened earlier in the day. With the current state of affairs the police have more important things to do than to police a load of football fans. Their resources are required elsewhere and this week’s games are rightly cancelled.

Suppose they arrest these people, what are they going to charge them with anyway? Will it be any sort of deterrent?

Breach of the peace, inciting violence, criminal damage, theft, assualting police officers (in some cases), resisting arrest.

Ecookie to whoever spots Thorpy!

Did he reach for it? Brandish it? Threaten to use it?

All fair reasons for being shot by the police...

More to the point, did the police perceive that this was the case?

Here we go

perfect example of what i was talking about

Thread is full of muppets crying about police brutality.

The kid was in a mob throwing missiles at the police. WTF does he expect to happen to him :/

It look unintentional as well as the police officer fell to the ground also... He was retreating and then someone gave a command to advance, he might have turned quickly and knocked the lil runt over...

I found it very funny... Good on the police

Iran urges UK to restrain police

Ah, you gotta laugh.

Just been watching CNN when during live footage, some loud mouth got arrested. Those police got quite a few sly kicks and punches on the guy. It very obvious that if the police had their way, they'd beat the living **** out of these thugs.

I hope not, do you?

I hope that the burning ended last night and that we see peace coming to our streets tonight.
