Riots in the UK

Police issue bullet does not 100% mean that it was another officer - where do you think a lot of gang guns come from? And regardless of that, the shooting of one man who was about to be arrested anyway does not in any way allow for the damages caused, which have absolutely nothing to do with Mark Duggan and are merely opportunist attacks and lootings from bored poor people

don't remember saying it was...

Maybe not but it just seemd you was going to hint towards that due to the whole "At what point did known gangsters who open fire on police become innocent men?"

But he isn't innocent though is he due to the illegal firearms as well.

so why didn't they arrest him the same way they have arrested 50+ people over the last two days?

[FlyingJesus]

Prob because he shot at them

Last time I checked when someone has a gun and has most likely shot at the police, the police don't take a friendly approach back.

A gangster is dead? Oh boo hoo.

[Lamz]

if he shot @ them 1st then yeah ok... but so far the news & investigators say he didn't.

How do they know one of the rioters aren't armed?

though i disagree with taking any kind of pleasure in anybody's death, this "innocent man" was clearly not innocent. what kind of 'innocent' person has the trident operation squad sent to arrest them. you just don't. these riots have now turned into a freeforall for people who just wanna get free goods and cause a scene. it's a mess.

Enoch Powell's prophecy is being proved correct - it's spreading to Enfield and Brixton now.

This is the result from years of uncontrolled immigration coupled with policies which only make problems worse, the idea that black people and minorities in general belong solely in those groups. We've already had the local councillors and self-appointed 'Community Leaders' commenting on how the Police need to 'engage and support the local community' - why is this? nobody else appears to have this need of Police pandering to them, why is it that these self-appointed people, usually from ethnic areas, feel the need to have the Police pander? The Police are supposed to do a job, fight crime, without having to bow to political correctness and meet with self-appointed 'Community Leaders' everytime an issue of crime flares up in the area.

The fact is that multi-culturalism is a failure but don't confuse this with multi-racialism. Multi-culturalism is the idea that differing cultures can exist side by side despite the fact that each culture has a differing view to authority, a different legal system and so forth. In areas like Tottenham, Enfield, Brixton and across London we've allowed different cultures (which includes and grows black gun culture) to fester and not be eliminated by a pan-British culture and this only makes tensions worse.

On the poverty and jobs argument that I keep hearing, that these people are desperate poor people. Sorry, but we have a welfare system in this country which means you have no obligation to work should you not wish to and that you can live a fairly comfortable life on the teet of the state without having to lift a finger. Now I may disagree with this, but thats a fact and thus eliminates the excuses for the need to loot, burn and destroy. If you look at scenes from the shops being looted, these people clearly have no intention of having an education or wanting a job to better themselves - they are mindless thugs. I heard top clown, Labours' Mayoral marxoid candidate Ken Livingstone blaming the looting and so forth on the governments supposed scrapping of EMA, I don't even need to go into that lunacy.

The Police aren't exactly impressing me either, allowing buildings to burn and standing back while shops are looted in order to 'not inflame tensions' - sorry, but if the law is being broken then the Police should immediately go in, batons at the ready and grab those throwing things rather than standing behind shields. But this is another result of when you have a Police force run on political correctness.
