observer Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Seems the Police allegedly shot a guy in N/London, and folk crowded round the local police station demanding answers - and it all kicked off from there. But don't we have an IPCC that will investigate the incident in order to establish the facts and provide those answers - and don't these folk in London realise that that takes time?

inky pete Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Looks like the guy who died shot at the police when the tried to arrest him. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-14423942 If he then found himself somewhat out-gunned then the outcome was pretty inevitable.

algy Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 1. This guy had a gun on the streets - illegal. 2. This guy points a gun at a policeman - illegal. 3. This guy pulls the trigger and shoots a policeman - illegal. 4. This guy must have suffered from suicidal tendencies, he would have been better to have placed the barrel of the gun in his mouth, blown his brains out and saved everyone a lot of trouble and expense.

Peter T Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 But how do the mob justify the rioting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inky pete Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Mobs aren't generally into justifying their actions! The individuals who rioted should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law - and that includes taking a good hard look at whatever else they may be into to see what can be un-earthed there.

observer Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Perhaps Bashir Assad should be placed in charge of the police operation?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Has it been confirmed he actually had a gun yet, if not speculation is futile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverlady54 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 That area is particularly volatile and the community don't feel their voice is being heard, but it seems that it was people from outside the area who traveled in just to cause trouble. This is an escalating problem, partly due to internet communication, when mobilisation of activists to anywhere is easy. You can be sure that anarchists are behind this, especially as it spread to other areas last night despite all the calls for calm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 We have a potential problem raising it's ugly head over this one folks, on Sky news this morning they reported that the bullet lodged in the policemans radio may have been fired by a police weapon, if so, Ooops! Still doesn't give the right for the guy to point a gun at a policeman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
