i dont understand why ppl were complaining about this guys death in the first place. all i see in the press is ppl going , oh his such a good boy , he never did any wrong thos poilice are meanies. BULL. he was a gunrunner plain and simple. he had a loaded gun in a sock with the safty off, to the uneducated this means he was ready to use it.
you keep the gun in the sock to prevent shell casings from escaping and absorbs large amounts of poweder burns. this man had a gun he was ready to use and he got shot for it. I DO NOT FEEL SRY! as for those rioters they need a damn good dose of rock hard disiplne with a side order of training in a work style. bring back bootcamps run by ex army /police that we fired cause the policitions dont wont to lose there high payed benifits.

What none dare say
Interesting article, but it fails to explain a number of things. It keeps bringing up the fact that some race riots happened shortly after the Civil Rights Act went into effect, but doesn't explain why. Perhaps there is something the author Dare Not Say? It also mentions "no fathers at home" as a contributory factor for people rioting in England, without any explanation of why he thinks this is so. He also blames state run education, perhaps he just means poor quality education? I'm not too familiar with the system in Britain. The jealousy and envy caused by income inequality is a very good point though. And since I do support merit-based income inequality, all I can suggest is ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to reach their income potential. Also I agree that there are perverse incentives not to work and form a two parent family created by the social welfare system.

Yes because they didnt have the manpower to go out and arrest them. A handfull of police cannot take on a mob of 100+ and they couldnt afford to take men off the front lines to take arsewipes to the cells.
Nope not true, there were many who because they were not arrested, were able to hit elsewhere, in any case filth didn't even try to PREVENT crime that was happening right infront of them, either to protect property or person, again, they were told to 'hold the line and stand still' even when they outnumbered the mob.
Sorry, but there are just too many reports from people who actually lived where the rioting was occuring, saying the filth just stood there and did nothing, and yes, they had the numbers to do that. --------------------------------------------------

Edited by: Alu Utukku on 18/08/2011 20:29:14 An interesting bit of over reaction by police during the initial protest seems to have had significant repercussions on the riots:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/aug/08/tottenham-riot-twitter
"Once again social media reporting overtook the news as residents of Tottenham took to the streets alongside journalists to document the damage. An alternative narrative emerged on Twitter and Facebook as rioting spread, and it proved starkly different to what official representatives were saying on our television screens.
One strong rumour that gained ground is that of a 16-year-old girl being beaten by police soon after the peaceful protest ended at Tottenham police station. An eyewitness told BBC News that "a young female had approached the police standing line and she was set upon by police and their batons". Videos uploaded on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcwUyZ68C0k from in and around the area further reinforce this rumour, documenting people caught up in the fray, shouting in disgust. The incident has been dismissed as unsubstantiated and consequently downplayed in media coverage. However, video footage û though unclear û has been uploaded, making such claims credible."
Duggan's death sparked a protest; police response sparked a riot. never hit something with total overkill when the response will be exponentially worse.

No not now, its just smouldering again with its usual levels of crime and violence. Although it might be interesting to see the longer term statistics and see if there is any drop in crime levels, many of the usual law breakers might have been remanded in custody awaiting trial or received custodial sentences for their parts in the riot. If enough of them are behind bars the crime levels might drop.
