* 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

On Saturday night, rioters broke through police ranks and attempted to storm Tottenham's police station, pelting officers with bricks, bottles and eggs. As a police helicopter flew over Tottenham High Road, youths in masks and hoods added combustible material to two burned out police cars, included a bundle of documents and an awning ripped down from one of the shops. Some attempted to persuade the rioters to disperse, one young man shouting: "Go home now people." (Tracy Ullman??) But others filled bottles with petrol to throw at the police lines. Many lined up with makeshift weapons including metal bars and baseball bats to confront the line of police, but others seemed more interested in looting. At one stage a safe was dragged out of a bookmakers, while others were seen with a television set and an electric guitar. Several arrived with shopping trollies to take away what they had stolen. Maria Robinson, another resident, told the BBC: "The police seem very frightened at the moment, people are unstoppable. They've broken into various businesses, jewellery shops, bookies, it's absolutely crazy. They've beaten up a man for talking to the fire brigade." Somebody tell me just how mutant-barbarians will fear ANY thing without an armed police? Mayor Boris Johnson said where there were real concerns in the community it was right there was a proper investigation and that the IPCC was looking into Duggan's [aka gansta's] death. Do you all frickin' believe THIS sh*t?? The destruction of the dwellings, business, and wholesale theft and mayhem weren't the major concern, not worthy of an investigation by this dumbass Mayor; only the "investigation" into the "gangsta's death."
Do you all frickin' believe THIS sh*t?? Coulda been a "hate crime", somehow unlike the burning of London?
