I still don't see how that situation escalated into a bunch of people destroying other peoples lives, their cities, and their homes.

I understand the need for the officers to retaliate... However, how come the officers couldn't shoot him in the leg, butt, arm, or anywhere else usually non-life threatening. It is the easiest to aim and hit someone in the mid section. However, there were probably snipers at the scene which could have easily shot and disabled him in an area of the body that won't kill you. I've seen snipers shoot suspects hands forcing them to drop weapons or able to hit any area they want to shoot. I am unaware of the entire situation but I am sure they could have brought the suspect down without killing him. I suppose if you have 10-15 officers firing their guns at the same time it might be hard to save that person's life. So instead of a firing squad they could have went a little more tactical. |
If I'm being shot at and I know my life is in danger, then I'm going to try to kill the guy shooting at me. Obviously he doesn't care for my life if he's shooting at me. I'm not going to give him the benefit of life when he wants me to die.

And suddenly after prime minister allows usage of rubber bullets and water cannons riots are almost gone.
What a suprise.

*Does a 3 second Google search* The 16 year-old was said by some witnesses to have thrown a stone at a line of officers during the initial protest at Tottenham police station. She was then allegedly knocked to the ground, and as the crowds retaliated it led to two squad cars being set alight at the start of a night of violent disturbances and looting. However by Sunday night the identity of the teenage girl had not been established and the Metropolitan Police were unable to confirm the truth of the alleged incident. Asked about the rumours at a press conference, Commander Adrian Hanstock replied: “We are still looking into that. There are conflicting responses to what that incident was. We want to concentrate on the scene, getting the area back to normal.” Regardless of whether or not a girl was attacked by police, a rumour about it certainly spread among the crowd and then reached the wider world as protesters used mobile phones to tell friends and post messages on Twitter. It was further reinforced when a caller told the BBC: “What actually ignited it is a young female had approached the police standing line and she was set upon by police with their batons. “The police line actually charged towards her and hit her with their batons. Subsequently it turned out she was only 16 and it absolutely made everyone go up in uproar. “She just approached the police and said the community demanded answers and justice must prevail and questions needed answering. Full Article + shaky mostly useless video footage. |
Sounds like unconfirmed stories to me.

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.
Hmm, pie.
