At least the shop owners are starting to fight back, i wouldn't be happy if people were going all "hurp durp it's a riot better start looting tvs".

[Ningyou]

I don't get it though, are police like jacking off in their offices or what?

A lot of them are being shipped off to london to stop the riots, a majority of the police in Wales were moved.

So what exactly caused this riot? Some guy ran from police and got shot while some poor people got mad about being poor and used the guy's injury as a spark to rioting and started attacking businesses because they are mad?

A guy was followed by the police, he was stopped and searched and during that he got killed under mysterious circumstances and then the family and some other people had a peaceful protest in front of the police station. This protest was soon turned into a violent riot by some idiots and all hell broke loose. Now people with pointless lives are looting stuff.

its not about some 1 cop shooting.
people are pissed about many things.

He probably did something violent, not sure though. Anyways, idiots ruin everything.

I think we should wait for the results of the inquiry before jumping into conclusions.

That was probably like the spark that ignited the fire.

There's a difference between making a final conclusion and saying "probably".

Yeah, I said I wasn't sure though. People usually don't just get killed randomly in the presence of police, but maybe I could be wrong. Still have to wait as you said.

Mark Duggan, 29, was in a car being followed by police during a covert operation on Thursday.

But Duggan, a known offender from London’s notorious Broadwater Farm Estate, became aware that he was being followed and opened fire on the officers.

He shot the officer from Scotland Yard’s elite firearms squad CO19 in the side of his chest with a handgun.

The bullet lodged in the police radio that the undercover officer was carrying in a side pocket.
Armed officers shot the gunman dead seconds later.

According to Sky the C019 firearms officer has said that he never claimed Duggan had shot at him.

The firearms officer is understood to have told investigators that he opened fire because he believed he was in danger from a lethal weapon. Two shots were fired, it is understood; one hit Duggan and one missed, lodging in another officer's radio.
