Yeah let's riot because firearms officers were shot at and didn't want to die. And why are people saying guns are banned in the UK they're just restricted.

At the least, it wasn't a riot over sport. They're just stupid; no matter the sport. Better yet riots started over the protesting of 'extremism' (how can you protest against extremism, really?) The government doesn't have an 'extremism' sector so protesting is a waste of time. Riots are started by the irrational or narrow-minded.

[QUOTE=gamerman345;31580913]Just read about this. Im on the side of the police, because the bullet fired at the Officer who was saved by the radio made the Police believe he was a threat, and obviously they returned fire instinctively. Its also stupid how the family was up in arms and went to the effort of starting a riot because a complete idiot got what was coming to him.[/QUOTE] I decided to try and find out as much as I could about this last night and I would have to agree with you, it seems the police did the right thing and all this is a massive overreaction.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm going to be a lot less sympathetic to somebody's cause if he's flipping my car over and setting it on fire.

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;31573446]Wait, so the people are rioting over the shooting of a man who attempted to murder a police officer?[/QUOTE] It's Tottenham what do you expect. Honestly if anything I'm not exactly happy a man was killed but they did what had to be done to save lives.
What's up with this Tottenham place anyway? Anything special about it? From what i read this far only low life criminal scum live there.

Seriously, why is anyone siding with the protestors saying it is a good idea to burn cars and burn down business and peoples property?!?! They are protesting over the fact that a man was shot after he tried to shoot some police officers, he pulled out a gun and shot at the police officers, what justice do they want exactly? Commendations to the officers? Good lord Tottenham you must be an low IQ black hole.

[QUOTE=Clark21;31581187]If the guy shot at the police first then I don't feel sorry for this guy at all and I don't see why anyone else would. Oh wait I know why they do because they are complete scumbags. You throw away all your rights if you open fire on police officers. Stupid people rioting.[/QUOTE] Rights are [b]not[/b] revokable. That is why they are rights. I agree with the officer returning fire though - he had the right to self defence and had the duty to remove the threat.

Idiots.
It seems like no one over there know what self defense is...
While the intensity of the rioting is fucking stupid, it's good that the people in the UK and France for example still can actually stand up to their government. Don't see this happening in the US, ever.
Londoner here and I am not only furious, but I'm genuinely saddened. I'm sick and tired of the so called 'black community' blaming the police for everything and anything and using it as an excuse to carry out this feral shit. Your local 'gangsta' shot at the cops so quite rightly, he's going to get shot in return, seriously what is there to criticise? WHAT DID YOU EXPECT THEM TO DO? Being stopped and searched by the police because you're black? The reason for that is that blacks are still a minority in Greater London yet commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime. Are they the only group that commit crime? No, but just as a DVD counterfeiter is most likely to be asian, a paedophile is most likely to be a white male, blacks are statistically most likely to carry out criminal violence. I have yet to see hordes of Chinese or Polish youths stab someone to death because they live in a different postcode or they showed apparent 'disrespect'. I'm sick and tired of these people. I never had a problem with any group of people before but living in this otherwise great city and being relentlessely exposed for years to their savage behaviour has turned me into a racist and I'm not the only one. When shit like this happens everyone seems to pussyfoot around the elephant in the room and because we aren't allowed to discuss these issues the problem will only get WORSE, exponentially. I do not want to live in a country with martial law but they should've sent in the military, fully armed, to shoot dead every single one of those disgusting subhuman animals committing these acts of violence. The world would be a better place without them. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Racism" - Orkel))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=RagamuffinIIII;31585551]congratulations you stupid shit, you just brought racism into a discussion when it isn't even the subject.[/QUOTE] Of course it is. If it was a rainbow coalition of thugs, like some warped Benetton ad, then you may have a point but it's mainly black youths, the same as it was in the Paris riots.

[editline]7th August 2011[/editline] Oh no people are rioting, break out the guns and shoot them all. That's just adding fuel to the fucking fire.
