    Riots!

    What the hell is happening!

    Just seen this on the news. Tottenham looks like a warzone and apparently there are riots in Enfield.

    Seems a bit odd, police shoot someone dead; they claim one of the police was shot at first; but not a lot being said to corroborate that actually happened.

    I don't see it as odd, whenever a shooting occurs nothing should be said till IPCC has investigated.

    The fact one of the police officers had a none police issue bullet lodged in his radio tends to suggest someone did shoot him.

    I'm sure a large proportion of the people involved probably don't give a shit about what happened... any excuse to smash stuff up and set fire to things..

    It's crap how restrained the Police appear to be. A bunch of kids with bricks and they don't do anything other than run at them and arrest the ones that trip up

    No doubt they can't do much more for fear of upsetting some liberals.

    The other half and I drove through North London lat night, probably just before all that nonsence kicked off. We were probably lucky to have missed all the mayhem. Seriously though, it's such a shit hole around there, you'd pretty much expect mindless dick heads to run riot if a train was late.
