So these riots are because of police violence got out of hand?

Not so surprising to me.
I've worriedly followed this growing discretion of officials in many countries. Police can only shot that many people before the "kids come out".

It's time to start a new path of democracy in these countries! Unless you want the cities to keep burning...

Has anyone thought of just throwing the Tottenham rioters a basketball ?

Known criminal & gangster was shot by police. His friends decided to riot. So now we have this.

Now the question is did they have a reason to shoot him or was it a murder by the police. Or, is the riot somewhat justifiable or not.

It was attempt to arrest him and it went wrong.

He was probably not armed... am I wrong?

And police shouldn't shoot for kill but just for stop the target. They're not soldiers in war FFS.

One weird thing is that the UK press keeps saying he was shot by ARMED police.

Well, no shit.

Who knows, there is always some truth to both sides...the problem is, criminals always believe that they are unjustly treated (they are always the victims, victims of circumstance), and the cops are always acting like the criminals are the kids who get away with everything.

Right. They should shoot him in the leg.

Damn, these police need to watch more movies like you.

How come I've never heard police shooting anyone dead here in my country though I hear it happen all the time in UK, USA, North Korea, Libya...

Maybe police here are better trained than in those countries then

Cripes. I remember after 9/11 those British coppers chased some poor foreign exchange student onto the tube and executed him in front of a load of commuters. Super good work.

Checking in to inform my fellow Getbiggers that I am alive and well.

Finished a nice back workout and was home safe before I ran into any ~~black people~~ protesters.

Although I see on the Sky news that they've torched my beloved Greggs bakery - if I don't get my sausage roll in the morning there's gonna be hell to pay.

I had heard that he fired at the police and they shot back. The link below has the story and tends to confirm that. Hardly likely that the police ended up shooting their own radio

We don't need no stinking guns. Our police beat the homeless to death with their fists.

What country are you in?

Finland.

I'm honestly amazed when I see in news how police acts in some countries... Here officers are really nice, rarely use power at all yet alone excessive power etc.
