Gtfo. The police got SHOT AT by a drug and gun dealer. These animals have no right to protest never mind riot. Relatives of the man who was killed have called for this to stop. The stupid thing is that black people, whenever they hear that a black man has been killed by the police instantly run with the idea that it's a race thing and kick up a shitstorm. It's them, chavs and children who have decided to run around in a mob and start breaking things... and as ben said, the cops have to just stand there and take all this shit because it will kick off if a worthless 14 year old chav had his face reshaped.

then 300 guys start a riot outside the police station over it a day or 2 later or something.
15 cops in riot gear vs 300 idiots looking for an excuse to fight.
stole and burnt 3 policecars to the ground, busses and a mall.
there were posts on facebook and twitter advertising it and advising people to come down to cause trouble(quoted from the sources)
there were kids as young as 8 hanging around a riot at 12 at night...
people looting shops, women even taking the time to try the shoes on outside the shop in view of cameras befor stealing them.
dudes throwing stones at the policestation from over the fence, while the cops where just standing there watching them.
too scared to call in reinforcement, or use water canons for riot control, because of the potential retaliation from the rioters.
the cops should grow some back bone and enforce their own laws.
they were shot at, they shot back, they won. I cant be the only one who sees that as normal?
inb4 the consipracy theories about media twisting the truth
...and here they come!
This may or may not be related, but I for one find the timing of this very interesting. Conveniently the phonehacking business has been swept under the rug, everyone has forgotten about murdoch being a bad guy and the death of the guy who originally blew the whistle has been completely forgotten.
As well as this, in about a year the olympics are on their way to north-east london, pretty much where the riots are. Could this have been one massive training exercise?
Also, is this going to be an excuse for the government to try to cut down on our civil liberties?
