The Fury said:

Most are because we never get the same story from the same people. A man was shot that is confirmed and it was confirmed that the police shot him. What isn't confirmed is whether he was in the poisition to fire but didn't or even holding a gun at the time, although it's very likely he was in possession of a gun. I highly doubt that he'd ever be in custody and handcuffed and then shot, that's just bullcrap.

The girl provoked the police in a peaceful protest turning it into something else. She started this whole thing in otherwords. I doubt police attacked and beat her knowing fully it was a 16 year old girl, we don't know the full story . The article says she was knocked to the ground (which could be no more then a push) and then some witness claims she was beaten.

 

Eitherway, neither of these instances should have caused what we have seen which is mindless fucktards destroying lives and homes for no good reason. This isn't the blame of the government, it's not the police, it's not even their parents (as many are old enough to know better), it's dicks being dicks.

Bolded 1: I don't know what the tensions are like in London, but in the U.S., this happens too often (More than once is too often imo).

Bolded 2 & 3: You're stating that the full story isn't known, but you seem to be latching on to the parts that you want to believe. Though you doubt it could happen, it's possible, especially if tensions were high. This also happens in the U.S. a lot.

You Last paragraph: No, neither situations warrant a riot, especially when details aren't fully known. The riots were sparked by opportunists searching for a reason to cause mayhem.

1) As Brendude, in the UK it's nigh on impossible. We aren't the US, when it comes to our crimes and handling them.

2) I'm latching onto bits I believe, yes, I believe the police shot a guy when they might have not needed to, I believe in a peaceful riot a person provoked the police and they reacted, some of the protestors reacted far worse after. The story makes out like the police and the (violent) people protesting knew this person was a 16 year old girl and the police reacted by beating her with battons, I don't believe that. But I wasn't there, I have to go on news reports. I may be baised but as a law-abiding citizen, I'm going to be bias towards the people who have tried to protect us for the last 5 nights, while getting attacked and criticised for it.

 

Another murder this morning, a man trying to put out flames was attacked by rioters. While Police got to him to save him, the murderers still attacked the police.
