Tottenham shooting: Police cars on fire after protest

_54459383_police_car_fir_twitter.jpg


Two patrol cars have been set on fire after members of a community where a young man was shot dead by police took to the streets to demand "justice". Protesters have gathered outside the police station on the High Road in Tottenham, north London.

It comes after a 29-year-old father-of-four, named locally as Mark Duggan, was shot dead by police on Thursday. The Metropolitan Police said missiles were thrown at the cars, both were set alight and riot officers deployed.

A spokesman said about 300 people were on the streets but not all were involved in the disorder. He said that officers dispatched to disperse the crowd had had bottles and other missiles thrown at them.

The force said the incident began after police officers parked two patrol cars on Forster Road and High Road and began patrolling on foot. The spokesman said: "At approx 20:20 BST a number of bottles were thrown at these two cars - one was set alight and the second was pushed into the middle of the High Road. It was subsequently set slight.

"The officers were not in the vehicles and were unhurt."

Vanessa Robinson said she had joined the original protest outside the police station and it had begun peacefully. She said the situation had now turned into "absolute chaos". Maria Robinson, who lives in Tottenham, described the situation as "absolutely manic".

She said people were throwing bottles, "making bottle bombs", setting fires and shops had been broken into. Another resident, David Akinsanya, 46, said several shop windows had been smashed.

"It's really bad," he said. "There are two police cars on fire. I'm feeling unsafe. It looks like it's going to get very tasty. I saw a guy getting attacked."

Man dead and police officer hurt in Tottenham shooting


_54430323_012598711-1.jpg

A man is understood to have been shot dead by a policeman in north London.

A police officer was also injured in the incident in Ferry Lane in Tottenham Hale on Thursday evening. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has been called in to investigate the death and it said a firearm had been recovered.

It is thought the officer, who was taken to hospital and later discharged, was shot first but this is not known for certain, an IPCC spokesman said. In a statement, the IPCC said: "It is understood that the shooting followed an MPS [Metropolitan Police Service] operation."
'Heard four shots'

The Metropolitan Police would not confirm if the man had been shot by a police officer. A Scotland Yard spokesman added: "One male was pronounced dead at the scene and one officer was taken to hospital."

Local resident David Akinsanya said he arrived at the scene moments after the incident. He said he was told by a witness that a police officer had shouted to the man to stop "a couple of times", but the man had not heeded the warning.

The witness, who lives next to the spot where it happened, then heard four shots, Mr Akinsanya said. "There were lots of helicopters and sirens all over the place," he added."There was also a surveillance van on the corner."

Community 'anxious'

A waitress at the Ferry Boat Inn, who did not wish to be identified, said the incident had happened a few minutes' walk from Tottenham Hale station.

She said: "One man came in and he said that he saw police trying to pull some clothes off a man who was bleeding." Another worker said there were "lots of cars" around the scene. Police have taped off a large area and Ferry Lane remains closed.

David Lammy, Labour's MP for Tottenham, said he was "shocked and deeply worried" about the attack. "I think there's quite a lot of anxiety now in the community, but we should try to stay calm and not rush to judgement," he said.

"We need to understand what has happened. "I hope that the IPCC can move quickly to allay fears and rumours that can circulate in these circumstances."

*Mark Duggan shot dead by Operation Trident Cops :clap:

POLICE cars torched, shops looted and a bus burned out as a major riot erupted in North London last night.


Petrol bombs thrown as hundreds of protesters rampage in Tottenham, after local anger over the fatal shooting of a suspected gangster by cops.

An initially-peaceful demonstration had been held outside a police station on the area's High Road from about 5pm, where locals called for "justice" after the 29-year-old man named as Mark Duggan was killed on Thursday night.

But witnesses said as anger turned to violence, hundreds more protesters appeared on the scene - apparently alerted by people using Twitter.

Police, who had apparently been expecting trouble, responded with hundreds of heavily-protected riot officers as well as mounted police while fire crews struggled to get near the blazes.

It is not believed that any officers were inside the police cars when they were attacked and set on fire.

Looters were reportedly hurrying away from wrecked stores with trolleys loaded with stolen goods.

Live TV pictures showed a double-decker bus first emitting clouds of smoke where Tottenham High St meets Brook St. It then burst into flames which quickly gutted the vehicle, as its fuel tanks exploded.

It is believed the trouble erupted near the Broadwater Farm estate where PC Keith Blakelock was hacked to death by rioters in October 1985.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said a large crowd was on the streets last night but not all the onlookers were involved in the disorder. The spokesman said: "A number of bottles were thrown at these two police cars - one was set alight and the second was pushed into the middle of the High Road. It was subsequently set slight."

Local resident Maria Robinson told the BBC the situation was "absolutely manic". She said some rioters were "making bottle bombs" and starting fires.

Tottenham in flames as Bongo Party follows protest

Tottenham-riots-004.jpg


By 10.30pm, Tottenham High Road had been taken over by rioters, with two police cars on fire, a number of shops looted and a building ablaze.

Debris from a looted police station lay strewn across the pavement.

The rioters, mostly teenagers, some of whom had covered their faces with scarves, hurled bricks, bottles and eggs at police. Shopping trolleys had been used to charge at police, who appeared heavily outnumbered.

The violence broke out at dusk after approximately 120 people marched on Tottenham police station to express anger over the death of local man Mark Duggan on Thursday.

A Metropolitan police spokesman said the trouble began when "missiles" were thrown at parked patrol cars at 8.30pm. He said one was pushed, blazing, into the middle of Tottenham High Street. Neither of the two officers who had been driving the cars were injured.

Attempts by police to gain some control succeeded by 11.30pm, as they cleared an area of the street with the worst fires, allowing two fire engines onto the street.

The rest of the area remained in the control of rioters, who gathered along side-streets, some carrying sticks.

Most of the crowd consisted of onlookers, who jeered at police vans as they arrived. There were chants of "we want answers" and "whose streets? Our streets". A number of shops had been looted, including a music shop and an electrical and hi-fi store.

Youths were seen fleeing the street carrying TVs and stereos. One young man, in his early teens, wheeled a shopping trolley laden with stolen items. A general store and a florist had also been broken into.

A Turkish corner store had stacked boxes of bottled mineral water outside its windows to hold the looters at bay.

Officers from the Territorial Support Group were on the scene, charging at rioters and attempting to block off side streets. Riot police, some with dogs, shepherded people away.

London Cop takes out the Gangsta trash with an MP-5 submachine gun

The feds are chasing me..
Last words of 'gangsta' who was shot by cops


8/06/11

By ANTHONY FRANCE and CHRIS POLLARD

SNN0615CC_280_1355597a.jpg

Killed ... Mark Duggan in 'gangsta' pose

A GUNMAN killed in a shootout with police had texted his girlfriend minutes earlier to say: "The feds are following me."

Suspected gangster Mark Duggan, 29, fired a handgun at an armed cop, whose life was saved when the bullet hit his radio.

The officer returned fire with his Heckler & Koch MP5 sub-machine gun - blasting dad-of-five Duggan twice in the face before slumping to the ground.


Duggan, known by the street name Starrish Mark, was a so-called gangsta member of North London's Tottenham Man Dem gang, which has links to Jamaica's ruthless Yardies.

Cops from the Met Police Operation Trident, which tackles gun crime in London's black community, had him under surveillance amid fears he was about to avenge the killing of his rapper cousin Kevin Easton, 23.

Easton, who performed as Smegz, was stabbed to death in front of clubbers in Mile End, East London, in March. Three men aged 23 to 27 are on bail.

Semone Wilson, 29, mother of three of Duggan's children, was devastated by his death near Tottenham Hale Tube station on Thursday evening.

She said yesterday: "He was in a cab. I spoke to him at about 5pm and he asked me if I'd cook dinner. He said he spotted a police car following him.

"He sent a message on his Blackberry saying 'The Feds (police) are following me'.

"And that's it, that's the last time anyone heard from him. By 6.15 he had been gunned down. I kept phoning and phoning to find out where he was. He wasn't answering.

"I rushed down to where it happened. They let me through the police lines but they wouldn't let me see his body."

A photo emerged yesterday of Duggan making a gangsta gun pose with his fingers.

But Semone added: "He was a good dad. I had absolutely no idea he was up to no good. Mark was known to police but he had never been sent down."

His mum Pamela, 52, said: "Mark was my baby. He was a kind boy. He would have been 30 next month. It's a wicked world when a boy doesn't live to see such a milestone."

The shot officer went home after hospital treatment. The Independent Police Complaints Commission was investigating last night. A spokesman said shooting began as cops tried to make an arrest.

Niggers riot in London slum

1312295026526_ORIGINAL.jpg

LONDON -- Rioters throwing petrol bombs battled police in an economically deprived district of London overnight, setting patrol cars, buildings and a double-decker bus on fire in some of the worst disorder seen in the British capital for recent years.

About 200 subhumans rained missiles and bottles on riot officers near Tottenham district police station after a street protest over the fatal shooting of a man by armed officers earlier in the week turned violent.

Mounted police and riot officers on foot in turn charged the crowd to push them back.

Eight officers were taken to hospital, one with head injuries, as rioters smashed windows and looted buildings including banks, shops and a supermarket and torched three police cars in the main road near the local police station.

The trouble broke out on Saturday night following a peaceful demonstration over the shooting of Mark Duggan, 29, who was killed after an exchange of gunfire with police on Thursday.

Duggan had been in a taxi when it was stopped by armed officers as part of a pre-planned operation. One policeman escaped unhurt after a bullet struck his radio. Duggan's death is being investigated by the independent police watchdog.

Although there have been riots in other European countries linked to austerity measures to tackle large national debts, London police and local community leaders said anger at Duggan's shooting was the cause of the riot.

Tottenham has a large number of ethnic minorities and includes areas with the highest unemployment rates in London. It also has a history of racial tension with local young people, especially blacks, resenting police behavior including the use of stop and search powers.

NOTORIOUS RACE RIOT IN 1985

The disorder was very close to where one of Britain's most notorious race riots occurred just over 25 years ago.

In 1985, police officer Keith Blakelock was hacked to death on the deprived Broadwater Farm housing estate during rioting in which around 500 mainly black youths rampaged through the streets, assaulting police, looting and setting fires.

Classford Stirling, a youth worker from Broadwater Farm, said there had been growing anger recently over stop and search practices by police. "It wasn't just black kids. It was the youth in general who are frustrated at the way the police are treating them," he told BBC TV.

"Everybody's now thinking of the way Mr Duggan was shot and they want answers. It's very difficult to turn round and say to them this is the wrong way because they believe this is the only way that they're going to get attention."

Television pictures showed a blazing bus surrounded by rioters and hooded youths pelting an abandoned police car with rocks and missiles. Media reported some locals had to flee their homes to escape the violence.

While the bulk of the disturbance had been brought under control early on Sunday, pockets of trouble were still erupting nearby. Buildings were smoldering with plumes of smoke billowing across the skyline.
 
London riots: Tensions behind unrest revealed

_54463686_riot-car-x2.gif


Rioting has again erupted on the streets of Tottenham almost 26 years after the Broadwater Farm riot. But what lies beneath the latest violent outburst in this chequered corner of north London?

The majority of people trying to digest the scene of carnage and destruction along Tottenham's cordoned-off High Road on Sunday morning looked genuinely baffled.

Some were trying to get to church, others were still trying to get home from night shifts or nights out, and nearly all stood staring in disbelief at their disfigured high street.

With smoke from smouldering shops still visible overhead, residents stood in fragments of glass and bricks before burnt-out police cars and shops now razed to the ground.

The unrest hours earlier followed the fatal shooting by police of 29-year-old Mark Duggan last week, and a protest march to a High Road police station on Saturday evening in which they demanded "justice".

"I think this is inhuman, it's never meant to get to this extent... it's absolutely out of scale with what's happened here," said 23-year-old Richard Tawiah.

Adeyemi Adeagbo, who was blocked by police from getting through to his church for morning worship, said the rioters' protest was uncivilised.

Their reactions were fairly common, but so too was a sense of discontent and tension between the police and local youngsters.

South Bank University student Jake Manu, 28, said Mr Duggan's death and the subsequent lack of dialogue from the police triggered the riot. But he said tensions - some racial - had been bubbling for a long time.

First saw this story on Yahoo news. No pics of niggers, no mention of niggers. They didn't even mention Trident being involved. I knew I could get the real story here!

This story is being sanitized outside of the UK.
 
You guys must have it wrong. I got this from the BBC so I know it must be true.

Local resident Jay Crowned, 39, said he knew Mr Duggan. "He's not a troublemaker but he's been down since his friend was stabbed in Mile End.

"His friend was like a brother and he lost him brutally. Since then he's been really down.

"He's never had trouble with the police before."
 
You have to love the newspeak terminology "economically deprived area" rofl. Sounds almost quaint :)

Hard to believe this was once the capitol city of the greatest world empire in recorded history. Now its just another niggerfuxated slum....
..sorry, I meant economically deprived area ;)
 
New fears that death toll may rise:

Tottenham riot: burned out shops may contain dead bodies, MP David Lammy warns

attachment.php


26 police officers were injured in the unrest and 48 people were arrested for offences including violent disorder, burglary and theft following overnight clashes.

Mr Lammy today said the area had had its "heart ripped out" by the rioting and said there may even be fatalities in the burned out buildings, he said.

He said: "A community that was already hurting has now had its heart ripped out.

"The post office, shops, news agents, mobile phone shops, council building that deal with customer complaints, smashed to pieces by mindless, mindless people last night - many of whom are not from Tottenham and had come from afar into this community intent on causing violence.

"What happened here raised huge questions and we need answers, but the response to that is not to loot, to rob. "There are homeless people standing back there. We don't know if there are fatalities within some of those homes and apartments which are now burned out. This is a disgrace."..[...]

Commissioner Rachel Cerfontyne, of the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), said in a statement: "I understand the distress that the shooting of Mark Duggan has caused to his family and in the community and that people need answers about what happened to him."

She said the IPCC yesterday supported 14 family members and friends in formally identifying Mr Duggan's body, and would have further meetings with his family today.

"We are still gathering evidence and will release further details about our progress with the investigation as soon as we can."

On Friday, it emerged that Mr Duggan had been travelling in a minicab and was gunned down after an apparent exchange of fire.

A police officer's radio was found to have a bullet lodged in it afterwards, suggesting they may have narrowly escaped being struck.

Officers had been attempting to carry out an arrest under the Trident operational command unit, which deals with gun crime in the black community, according to the IPCC.

The family of Mark Duggan has condemned the riot that broke out in Tottenham last night as eyewitness reports emerge that trouble erupted after a 16-year-old girl threw a rock at police.

Mr Duggan was shot dead by marksmen on Thursday and his fiancee, Semone Wilson, has said that she wanted answers, not trouble, while his brother, Shaun Hall, called for the community to remain calm.

Despite his calls for the community to remain calm, violence broke out in Enfield this evening with a group of around 200 youths smashing windows iand attacking vehicles in the town centre.

The Metropolitan Police meanwhile, has described Mr Duggan's death as 'regrettable' and blamed the violent anarchy that flared on a 'criminal minority'.

Aftermath: A building that was set ablaze in Tottenham is just an empty shell this morning

The morning after: Bricks and debris from the previous night's riots litter High Road

Clear-up: A fireman watches as a building that was set ablaze is dowsed with water, left, while the picture on the right shows the extent of the looting that took place with this shop stripped bare of TVs


Speaking to Sky News, Mr Hall repeated the family's call for answers about how his brother was killed.

He said: 'There should be someone here putting our minds at rest about what happened. He's not some type of gangster. He's a family man.'

Asked about his thoughts on the violence that flared up, which saw police and members of the public injured, he said: 'We're not condoning any kind of actions like that. There was a domino effect that we don't condone at all. I know people are frustrated and angry, but we ask them to please hold it down.'

In an interview with the Guardian, Ms Wilson also made a plea for an explanation from authorities.

She said: 'When we were outside the police station last night we wanted someone to come out. We want some answers. I have not even told my children that he is dead because we cannot give them any answers.'

Twenty-six police officers were injured in riots that broke out.

Scotland Yard said at least one of the officers had suffered head injuries after protesters clashed with police in Tottenham, north London.

Tonight's violence in Enfield appears to be a copycat of last night's riots.
It is understood that they attacked the HMV store on the High Street, while also smashing windows on other shops and raiding a local chemist.

There were also reports that a car and a van had been set on fire in the town.

A police car was also attacked with rocks, with reinforcements, including riot vans, deployed to the area to deal with the youngsters.

Upon their arrival at least one van was attacked outside Enfield Town station as a stand-off developed.

Police did launch baton charges at the group, with dogs also being used to disperse the group, who fled back into the town centre.

Scotland Yard confirmed that they had made arrests, while helicopters were hovering over the area.

They added that the youths, many of whom were wearing hooded tops, arrived by bus and train and congregated at the town's railway station.

It is believed the violence may have been organised via social networking sites, with police warning local businesses to close from 3pm.

New outbreak: A group of youths congregated on Enfield High Street this afternoon, attacking the HMV store, while also using concrete blocks to damage this police car

Waiting game: A team of riot officers were engaged in a stand-off with the youths on a street in Enfield town centre

Tonight, the Independent Police Complaints Commission said that a non-police firearm was found at the scene of Duggan's death.

And commissioner Rachel Cerfontyne said that the investigation into the death remain her 'top priority'.

She said: 'Mark Duggan's family and the community in Tottenham need answers about what happened to him - and we will investigate independently, thoroughly and robustly so that we can give them answers.'

Ms Cerfontyne said: "As an IPCC Commissioner I cannot ever have worked for the police and am entirely independent of them. My role is to oversee the investigation - which must also support the family, and address the concerns expressed by the community.

To help me I have established a community reference group to ensure I am sensitive and responsive to those concerns.'

She also moved to clarify a number of points that had arisen since Thursday's shooting.

She continued: 'Speculation that Mark Duggan was 'assassinated' in an execution style involving a number of shots to the head are categorically untrue. Following the formal identification of the body Mr Duggan's family know that this is not the case and I would ask anyone reporting this to be aware of its inaccuracy and its inflammatory nature.'

She went on: 'The distress that Mr Duggan's family are in the midst of is understandable but the violence and disorder we have witnessed over the last 24 hours can never be acceptable.'

Her statement echoed that of Scotland Yard, with Commander Adrian Hanstock saying: 'Last night's disorder and violence in Tottenham is completely unacceptable. The behaviour by a criminal minority put police officers, fire brigade personnel and the public at significant risk

'The death of Mr. Duggan is extremely regrettable and will be the subject of an independent investigation by the IPCC. It is absolutely tragic that someone has died, but that does not give a criminal minority the right to destroy businesses and people's livelihoods and steal from their local community.

'There was no indication that the protest would deteriorate into the levels of criminal and violent disorder that we saw. We believe that certain elements, who were not involved with the vigil, took the opportunity to commit disorder and physically attack police officers, verbally abuse fire brigade personnel and destroy vehicles and buildings.

'We do not believe that this is something that the vast majority of law abiding citizens in Tottenham would condone or would want.'

Wrecked: Two police cars used as a road block were set alight during the troubles

This evening police said that the number of arrests had risen to 55, with 51 last night and four today. The majority were for burglary, and other offences included violent disorder, robbery, theft and handling stolen goods.
The trouble flared after members of the community took to the streets last night to demand 'justice', after Mr Duggan's death.


Patrol cars, a shop and a double-decker bus were set ablaze and there were reports of looting amid scenes reminiscent of the violent unrest in the same area 26 years ago when PC Keith Blakelock was hacked to death.
More than 100 officers and specialist riot police faced crowds of more than 500 people protesting about the death of Mr Duggan, who lived on the estate and was described last week by police sources as a ‘gangster’.

Senior political figures were united in their condemnation of last night's unrest.
Home Secretary Theresa May said: 'I condemn utterly the violence in Tottenham last night. Such disregard for public safety and property will not be tolerated, and the Metropolitan Police have my full support in restoring order.
'I want to pay tribute to the officers who put themselves in harm's way.'

David Lammy, the MP for Tottenham, was at the scene this morning. He said: ‘What happened here on Thursday night raised huge questions and we need answers.
The response to that is not to loot and rob. There are homeless people standing back there. We have officers in hospital, some of whom are seriously injured. It's a disgrace. This must stop.’

Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: 'I'm appalled at the scenes of violence and destruction in Tottenham. The Acting Commissioner has assured me that the police are doing everything they can to resolve this situation. The events leading to these disturbances are rightly being investigated by the IPCC.

Harming people and property will do nothing to facilitate the investigation, it will only make the situation worse.'

There was concern that the disturbances were fanned by Twitter, with some of those taking part posting inflammatory comments from the scene and calling for reinforcements.

One picture of a police car on fire in the area was re-tweeted more than 100 times on the social networking site within an hour.
Mr Duggan was shot by officers from the Metropolitan Police’s CO19 unit on

Thursday evening after the minicab he was travelling in was stopped. There was an apparent ‘exchange’ of fire and a bullet was found lodged in a police radio.
Mr Duggan died at the scene and an officer was injured, but left hospital after treatment.
The violence last night started soon after a crowd of about 120 had begun to gather at the High Road, near Tottenham Hotspur’s football ground, from about 5.30pm.

One resident, Laurence Bailey, told the Guardian that the violence started after a 16-year-old girl 'threw something, maybe a stone, at the original riot police line'.

He added that this was met with a furious response, with around 15 riot officers pounding her with shields.

This description of events was corroborated by another local who spoke to BBC News. He said that the girl was 'set upon' by police and that the crowd surged forward in anger.

The rioters' target was the police station which was being guarded late last night by lines of officers and police vans. As the disorder spread, and the numbers of demonstrators swelled, two police cars being used to block the road were set ablaze by masked youths.

Flames began to billow from a shop and then a double-decker bus was engulfed in flames and quickly reduced to a twisted shell. Witnesses also reported seeing a jewellery shop and a bookmakers being looted.

Teenagers and younger children were seen carrying valuables through the shattered glass front of an electrical shop.

One witness described the looters helping themselves to a trolley loads of luxury goods including plamsa TVs and stereo systems - 'as if had been Christmas shopping'

Windows were smashed at a Barclays Bank and pictures on Twitter appeared t.o show the building being looted. There were also reports that youths had stormed McDonald’s and had started frying their own burgers and chips.

Battle: The riots saw violent clashes between police and youths with rocks and fireworks being hurled at officers

Stand-off: Rioters wearing bandanas confront police officers. The trouble saw 26 policeman injured and eight taken to hospital

Footage was posted on YouTube of local solicitor’s office Attridge on fire.
Resident David Akinsanya, 46, who was on the scene, said: ‘It’s really bad. There are two police cars on fire. I’m feeling unsafe. It looks like it’s going to get very tasty. I saw a guy getting attacked.’

local woman, who declined to give her name, said: ‘There’s a theory going on that the man who was shot had dropped his gun, but they still shot him. I’m hearing that most of the shops in the High Road are being burgled and robbed.’

Several fire crews could only stand ready nearby as they were barred from the High Road where buildings and the bus were ablaze.

One fireman complained to The Mail on Sunday that earlier, three engines had been dispatched to the scene without being warned they were entering a riot zone. He said: ‘We were sent to a road accident but it was the police cars on fire.

‘We were then ordered to leave them burning and to drive off, probably for our own safety.

‘I cannot believe what we have just driven through. As we pulled out of the station, there was a car on fire on the High Road and there were people in the middle of the road – it was very scary. We didn’t give them a chance to try to stop us. I am still shaking.’

Meanwhile, two Mail on Sunday photographers were viciously beaten and robbed by masked youths armed with crowbars and other makeshift weapons and reporters on the scene were threatened by looters in balaclavas.

The photographers said there was ‘total lawlessness’ in the area with the contents of shops strewn across the streets and the police unable to gain access.

Victim: Mark Duggan, shot by police in Ferry Lane, Tottenham
One said: ‘It is utter carnage out there. We have been beaten up quite badly and had about £8,000 of equipment stolen. We were quite discreet but as soon as we got a camera out we were set on by youths with masks who were armed with crowbars.’

In a separate incident, a Mail on Sunday reporter was chased down a side street and struck on the back of the head with a rock.
In a parallel with the 1985 riot, residents claimed the roots of last night’s violence lay in allegations of police harassment.

John Blake, who grew up with Mr Duggan on the Broadwater estate, claimed the dead man had been victimised by police in recent weeks.

He said: ‘I know the police were harassing him. The police were following him. If you’re from Broadwater Farm, police are on you every day, you’re not allowed to come off the estate. If you come off the estate they follow you.’

A family friend of Mr Duggan, who gave her name only as Nikki, 53, said the man’s friends and relatives had organised the protest because ‘something has to be done’ and the marchers wanted ‘justice for the family’.
Some of those involved lay in the road to make their point, she said.

‘They’re making their presence known because people are not happy,’ she added. ‘This guy was not violent. Yes, he was involved in things but he was not an aggressive person. He had never hurt anyone.’

As the rioting escalated, trouble-makers on Twitter seemed keen to orchestrate the violence, bringing scores more people into the area. One user calling himself ‘English Frank’ urged attacks on the police, saying: ‘Everyone up and roll to Tottenham f*** the 50 [police]. I hope 1 dead tonight.’

And in a clear incitement to looting, ‘Sonny Twag’ tweeted: ‘Want to roll Tottenham to loot. I do want a free TV. Who wudn’t.’
‘Mrs Lulu’ tweeted: ‘Brehs [men] asking who’s down to roll [go] Tottenham right now, to get justice. – RIP Mark x.’

A tweet apparently passed on by chart-topping rapper Chipmunk, who comes from Tottenham, paid tribute to the dead man: ‘R.I.P Mark Duggan a real straight up and down respected man. LOVE!!!!!!!!’
Joining in the Twitter frenzy, ‘Ashley AR’ tweeted: ‘I hear Tottenham’s going coco-bananas right now. Watch me roll.’
Officers from Trident, the police unit that deals with gun crime in the black community, had been attempting to arrest Mr Duggan when Thursday’s shooting took place.

‘Shots were fired and a 29-year-old man, who was a passenger in the cab, died at the scene,’ said a spokesman for the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which is investigating. It is believed that two shots were fired by a firearms officer, equipped with a Heckler & Koch MP5 carbine.

Local MP David Lammy called for calm last night. On his website, he said: ‘We already have one grieving family in our community and further violence will not heal that pain.’

Last night, a Scotland Yard spokesman explained how the riot began.
‘Two police cars had parked up at Forster Road/High Road while their officers conducted traffic patrols on foot. At approximately 2020 hours a number of bottles were thrown at these two cars – one was set alight and the second was pushed into the middle of the High Road. It was subsequently set alight.’
This morning, a section of the High Road, where the trouble started at about 8.30pm yesterday, was cordoned off and a line of police officers stood facing the crowd of locals that had gathered.

One police officer, asked by an elderly resident why more had not been done to stop the rioters, replied: 'The way we look at it, we're damned if we do, we're damned if don't.'
Police vans were parked in the middle of the road and the blue lights of two stationary fire engines continued to flash in the bright morning sunshine.
Rubbish swirled around the empty street, which had last night witnessed dramatic battle scenes.

Local residents wandered through the wrecked retail park in disbelief, some taking photos of the devastation. The front window of Currys electrical store was smashed and smithereens of glass covered the ground outside.

Next door, Argos's door had been smashed in and broken glass covered the floor inside and out after looters apparently raided the stock room.
A futile alarm rang out but was all but drowned out by the whirring of helicopters circling overhead. Rubbish bins had been tipped over and their contents strewn across the car park.

Discarded flat screen television boxes and other unwanted packaging covered paved areas outside the electronic goods stores.
The looters had evidently removed the products from their boxes to create more space in their shopping trolleys and cars, which were said to number up to 100.

Fragments of glass from the smashed in door of PC World littered the ground.
The scene outside Comet was similar and outside B&Q - one of the few stores that did not appear to have been looted - staff stood uncertainly, waiting to hear from head office whether they would be working today. With police tape cordoning off most of the neighbouring shops, the prospect seemed unlikely.

A member of staff at The Carphone Warehouse next door said every phone in the shop had been stolen.

The contents of the stock room were spilled across the pavement outside from the smashed in door. Inside, it had been pulled apart. A solitary mobile phone rang out from beneath a pane of glass on the ground.

Outside JD sport shop, broken mannequins lay on the ground, plastic legs and torsos scattered here and there. Plastic coat hangers and discarded packaging also lay among the debris.

The sense of anger at what the looters had done was clear. Nadine Knight, 24, who works in administration at a planning and architecture firm said: ‘I'm completely and utterly disgusted by what the community has managed to do here.

‘They need to come together a bit more and help the community, not damage it. I'm so upset, I can't believe it.’

Another resident, Norman McKenzie, 37, who works as a security guard at the Next clothes store in the retail park, was also appalled.

He said: ‘I can understand they're angry and above all that there's unemployment and cutting benefits so everything comes together and the cup is full.’

He had been told by his employer not to go to work today ‘because of the riot’.

Christian Macani, 22, who works in environmental sciences, asked a question that was on the lips of many in his neighbourhood this morning. ‘What does this achieve?’ he said. ‘They can't get away with this, can they?
‘People really don't think. It's stupid, this. They've achieved absolutely nothing. It's a joke.’

The rioting going on in Tottenham, England isn't a flash mob, it's an old-school race riot. See coverage on Lawrence Auster's blog, where he says

"A week ago the first black flash mob attack took place in civil, serene, restrained, and oh-so-friendly-to-minorities Canada, suggesting that there are common patterns of black behavior that transcend borders. And yesterday there was a devastating black riot in Britain, in a part of London called Tottenham:

Riot blaze: North London in flames as police cars, bus and shops burn over police shooting of 'gangster'

The Daily Mail has full coverage, including astounding photos of the street scene and of a block-sized building being destroyed by fire.

Of course the Mail doesn't say it was a black riot. The only way you can know for sure that the riot had anything to do with race is from the photo of a man named Mark Duggan, whose death at the hands of police set off the riot. It's the usual script that we know so well in this country. Police are dealing with some violent Negro criminal, and are forced to kill him, and the black community rises up in violence.[More]

This is something that I mentioned a while back about modern Civil Rights activism

"[A] lot of it involves fighting not for justice, but against it. Did you know that the man whose arrest sparked the Watts riot was guilty of what he was arrested for?"

This also applies to the Rodney King arrest, and many of the "15 Black Men" who were killed by Cincinnati police in the years before the 2001 riots and who were a rallying cry for the rioters.

The rioters weren't rioting for justice, but against it. Auster says that since the British press, while making coded references to the "community" that's outraged and burning things, doesn't say that it's a black riot, and Auster couldn't really be sure that it was a black riot...until he saw a picture of a looted TV shop.

This excerpt from the Daily Mail coverage also tells the story: "The Metropolitan Police meanwhile, has described Mr Duggan's death as 'regrettable' and blamed the violent anarchy that flared on a 'criminal minority'"

A criminal minority! I thought it was illegal to say that in England.

New photo that shows what's wrong in England (and much of the western world). Can't copypasta the pic. It is a photo of Brit police trying to stop a nigger looter with a White English girl trying to prevent the cops from catching the nigger thug. [Note: photos added--Rasp]

THUGS used social network Twitter to orchestrate the Tottenham violence and incite others to join in as they sent messages urging: "Roll up and loot."

One sick tweet even called on rioters to KILL police officers in a chilling reminder of the murder of PC Keith Blakelock during a riot nearby in 1985.

Crowds plundering shops and other businesses swelled during the night as looters used Twitter to brag about their hauls and spread word of their locations.

A user calling himself "English Frank" called for attacks on police, posting: "Everyone up and roll to Tottenham f*** the 5-0 (police). I hope 1 dead tonight."

In a clear encouragement to looting, "Sonny Twag" tweeted: "Want to roll Tottenham to loot. I do want a free TV. Who wudn't." Joining in the Twitter frenzy, "Ashley AR" posted: "I hear Tottenham's going coco-bananas right now. Watch me roll up with a spud gun."

SUN photographer Mikael Buck was beaten up and had two cameras worth £8,000 stolen by the mob.

Mikael, 29, said: "I've never felt such fear or been subjected to such hatred. I was down a side alley when protesters came out of nowhere.
 
This is disgusting what they're doing to a city I'm currently residing in. London is steeped in history with beautiful architecture and historical buildings that have been here far longer than the families of these ungrateful nigger looters. :mad: Words cannot describe how widespread this looting and rioting is. London is a huge city. They're tearing up Brixton at the same time they're ripping up Tottenham and Enfield... Brixton is about 20 miles away.

They're defending and supporting a an evil black criminal who was carrying a gun? Typical of a race full of evil criminals...


May flies home after fresh riots

A fire hose continues to pump water on to a smouldering building in Tottenham after trouble flared on Saturday night

Home Secretary Theresa May is flying back from her summer holiday in the wake of a second night of violence and looting across the capital.

Mrs May, who has been in contact with other senior politicians and police leaders while overseas, will return to London on Monday afternoon for further talks with Metropolitan Police Acting Commissioner Tim Godwin and other officers.

More than 100 people have been arrested after a series of "copycat" riots broke out across several boroughs in north, south and east London following earlier trouble in Tottenham, north London.

Home Secretary Theresa May warned that those responsible "will be made to face the consequences of their actions", saying: "Londoners have made clear that there are no excuses for violence, and I call on all members of local communities to work constructively with the police to help them bring these criminals to justice."

The fresh violence came after a peaceful protest in Tottenham on Saturday, which followed the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan, 29, on Thursday. The looting across London was carried out by "small and mobile" groups, Scotland Yard said.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Steve Kavanagh admitted on Radio 4 that there were too few officers in Tottenham on Saturday night. But he blamed Twitter for fuelling looting and violence, saying: "Social media and other methods have been used to organise these levels of greed and criminality."

Scotland Yard said at least nine officers were injured, including three who were taken to hospital after being hit by a fast-moving vehicle at 12.45am. Police said 16 people have been charged with offences in relation to the disorder, including burglary, theft and violent disorder.

As officers cleared debris at a branch of Halfords targeted by looters in Brixton, locals condemned the "pathetic" rioters. Marilyn Moseley said: "It's just an excuse for the young ones to come and rob shops. We are going to get people blame the economy and what happened last week but that's not the real reason this happened."

Mr Duggan's family said they "are not condoning" the riots and looting while Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg condemned Sunday night's "needless, opportunistic theft and violence". He said it had "absolutely nothing to do with the death of Mark Duggan".

The Independent Police Complaints Commission has launched an inquiry into the shooting. It said it could not comment on reports that initial tests suggest a bullet found lodged in a police radio after Mr Duggan's death was police issue.

London riots: Looting and violence spreads from Tottenham to Brixton
Posted by TNT Today at Aug 08 2011, 09:52 AM

riots_2D00_1.jpg

The London riots spread from Tottenham last night as shops were looted and cars damaged across Enfield, Walthamstow, Waltham Forest, Islington and Brixton.

More than 100 people were arrested in what police called a wave of “copycat criminal activity" that continued late Sunday night and into Monday morning.

The riots began on in Tottenham on Saturday night after the shooting of 29-year-old Mark Duggan by police.

The north London borough was left in flames as rioters looted shops and burned cars and buildings. Many homes were razed to the ground leaving families homeless.

48 people were arrested in Tottenham and 26 police injured.

Last night rioting and looting spread across London, leading to more than 100 arrests. Around 35 police offices have been injured over the two nights of violence.

There have been reports of a gang of up to 200 youths looting shops and charging police in Coldharbour Lane and the High Street in Brixton, south London.

A BBC reported saw large groups smashing into a William Hill bookmakers, looting a Halfords store for bikes and battling police in Curry’s.

Gangs of youths were seen pelting police with bottles, rocks and other missiles.

As violence spread, around 50 youths gathered in Oxford Circus, central London, and caused damage to property.

In other parts of London, more than 30 masked youths vandalised and looted shops in Walthamstow Central.

The windscreen of a police vehicle was smashed in Islington, and goods were stolen from a Tesco store in Ponders End.

Shops in Enfield Town were also vandalised and looted and two vehicles being set on fire.

Police said 16 people have been charged with offences including burglary, theft, and violent disorder.

Metropolitan Police Commander Christine Jones said officers were "shocked" at the level of violence aimed at police.

"Officers responding to sporadic disorder in a number of boroughs made more than 100 arrests throughout last night and early this morning,”� she said.

"This is in addition to the 61 arrests made on Saturday night and Sunday morning.

"So far there have been 16 charges, 11 awaiting CPS advice, 17 bailed, one caution, one sectioned under the Mental Health Act and there are 15 ongoing inquiries.

"Officers are shocked at the outrageous level of violence directed against them. At least nine officers were injured overnight in addition to the 26 injured on Saturday night.

"We will not tolerate this disgraceful violence. The investigation continues to bring these criminals to justice."

Twitter users have kept a running commentary of the riots.

Writer Tony Parsons said: “Dear #LondonRiots - you don't fight for justice by robbing shops, putting people on minimum wage on the dole & trashing poor neighbourhoods.”�

Mikael Buck: A close encounter of the worst kind..

Mikael, 29, said: "I've never felt such fear or been subjected to such hatred. I was down a side alley when protesters came out of nowhere.

The press are the darlings of multi-culturalism and the right arm men of the jew controlled media, so it is not without a degree of smug satisfaction I read of one of their ranks getting a taste of good old fashioned cultural 'enrichment'.

I wonder what his innermost thoughts are now about those he is paid to promote in preference to his own people?. Like the rest of his liberal ilk he probably thought he was immune from the sheer nightmare the rest of us are forced, often by threat of legal sanction, to face on a daily basis at the hands of congenitally criminal blacks.

Perhaps he will begin to realize and fact up to the fact that when the SHTF he is just another whitey. What he does not and will not realize however, until it's far to late, is that he and his bought and paid for media accomplices have sealed their own fate by their treachery. Without the mercenary collaboration of the media in general and the press in particular with it's army of socialist journalists and press agency photographers such as Mikael Buck in promoting and sustaining the failed multi-cultural experiment, such events as this could not and would not ever have happened.
