* Twenty-six police officers hurt in clashes, with eight treated in hospital (Several London "yoots" and homies standing around posing and participating in the usual murder and mayhem. Just like in LA, Chicago, or Milwaukee.) (Referred to as "pockets of violence" as opposed to what happened during the Battle of Britain, WWII) (Oddly enough, Whitey does NOT seemed involved, though they can be blamed for taking out the gangsta aka "father of four" aka future gangstas) in the first place)
Poster Comment: (gangsta eliminated by London LEOs) Here's my favorite line of the entire story: Windows were smashed at a Barclays Bank and pictures on Twitter appeared to show the building being looted. There were also reports that youths had stormed McDonald’s and had started frying their own burgers and chips.
* Scotland Yard still dealing with 'isolated pockets of crime' this morning
* Tottenham MP David Lammy appeals for calm and warns that there may be fatalities
* Mob of 500 people protest about death of gangsta father-of-four Mark Duggan who was shot by officers
* 100 riot police on the streets as Tottenham burns
* Fears that violence was fanned by Twitter as picture of burning police car was re-tweeted more than 100 times
* One eyewitness reports that trouble was ignited by police hitting a 16-year-old girl with batons
* Shop looted and youths storm McDonald's and start cooking their own food
* Mail on Sunday photographers beaten and mugged by masked thugs
*Amish yoot were NOT involved

Chyeah - I'm sure THAT "ignited" burning down part of London and NOT a flimsy excuse to loot, pillage, and burn.

"It wasn't like this before," said one woman standing close to one of the two burned-out police cars. "It started out as a peaceful demonstration. The police shot a guy here last week and they lied about what happened. They said he pulled a gun but he wouldn't have done that with armed police. They shot him so badly that his mother could not recognise him." snip Most of the crowd consisted of onlookers, who jeered at police vans as they arrived. There were chants of "we want answers" and "whose streets? Our streets". http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/aug/06/tottenham-riots-protesters-police
"As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see the River Tiber foaming with much blood."
