Kicking Off In Tottenham

[BlackArab]

Ah, that'll do it - if it happened, it turns it into a summary execution even if he was dead already (iyswim) and even if it does turn out to have been him that put the bullet in the radio.



They didn't? Sometimes people see that as a bid for headlines. Remind me, was there a live threat of cuts to the force when they left a van in the middle of a crowd on 30 November 1999? And there was a van left amind the the fees demo, wasn't there? Happenstance, clearly.

Police vehicle also left abandoned also Tescos during recent riots in Bristol.

So you think areas that aren't affluent deserve to be torched because they're 'skanky' do you? Sounds like someone torched your cerebellum. Fucking idiot.

BBC live feed was just interesting, reporter getting in a bit more than he probably intended...

 

[lopsidedbunny]

fu*k it's kicking off with knifes now attacking police cars....

 

[lopsidedbunny]

Agh at the BBC news, DPD van on fire in Tottenham...

 

[quimcunx]

Do you think Al Jazeera might be covering it?

There was definately a rumour going around (reported in the Grauniad and the Standard, IIRC) that he (Duggan) had been shot four times whilst laying on the ground

The Guardian and Standard stories I found say simply that

one eyewitness claimed the suspect was killed as he lay on the ground in Ferry Lane.

I'm interested as to the specificity of your mentioning four shots... searches not producing anything yet. Mail says four shots heard; local paper says he was shot twice making three...

 

[ennuff]

"and now for some british olympic dreams" lulz @ bbc: they do NOT get it

 

[lopsidedbunny]

its from here:

However, a 20-year-old witness, who works nearby but did not want to be named, said: "I was coming home from work when I saw it all happening in front of my eyes.
"I came around the corner and saw about six unmarked police cars cornering a people carrier near a bus stop.
"I heard the police shout something like 'Don't move' and I saw them drag the driver out of the car. I don't know if they dragged the other guy out in the passenger seat. He was the one who got shot - the passenger.
"About three or four police officers had both men pinned on the ground at gunpoint. They were really big guns and then I heard four loud shots. The police shot him on the floor."
