A bus, a shop and two patrol cars have been set on fire in Tottenham. An estimated crowd of around 300 have gathered and there have been reports of looting and shop windows being smashed.
Earlier in the day members of a community where a young man was shot dead by police had took to the streets to demand "justice".
The 29-year-old, named locally as father-of-four Mark Duggan, died at the scene in Tottenham, north London, on Thursday.
About 120 people marched from the local Broadwater Farm area to Tottenham Police Station, forcing officers to close the High Road and put traffic diversions in place.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Missiles were thrown at them. One was set alight and one was pushed into the middle of the High Road."
Officers were being dispatched to disperse the crowd, he said.
He could not confirm that those responsible for the trouble were connected to the protest. (snip)
Officers had been attempting to carry out an arrest under the Trident operational command unit, which deals with gun crime in the black community, according to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).

I am surprised that anyone there can get their hands on a gun since they shoot you on sight for having one.
“...rivers of blood.....” Brits can’t say they were not warned.
Did anyone else notice all the article links at the bottom with people being shot?
I thought guns were illegal in Britian. How do all those people get shot?
Bloody buggers.

Gangsta..
“Suspected gangster Mark Duggan, 29, fired a handgun at an armed cop, whose life was saved when the bullet hit his radio.
The officer returned fire with his Heckler & Koch MP5 sub-machine gun - blasting dad-of-five Duggan twice in the face before slumping to the ground. “
Not a lot of room for a brain in that head.
The Shape of Things to Come.
Although Tottenham is well known for its diversity and culture, it has also been one of the main hotspots for gangs and gun crime in the United Kingdom during the past three decades. This followed the rise of gangs and drug wars throughout the area, notably those involving the Tottenham Mandem gang and various gangs from Hackney and all of the areas surrounding Tottenham, and the emergence of an organised crime ring known as the Turkish Mafia was said to have controlled more than 90% of the UK’s heroin market
Husband of how many?

“Crowd now attacking a police car. We are being forced to withdraw. BBC sat truck attacked #Tottenham
2 minutes ago”
All live coverage has stopped..BBC cut to “Olympic Dreams” recording..
The police are armed because he black gangs that have ruled Tottenham for years have guns.
Since things Arab/Muslim are politically correct, we should be able to use that word.
“@policeuk: It is strongly recommend to stay clear of #Tottenham due to large scale public order incident, homes are being evacuated.”
Thugs now invading and robbing homes.
Disarmed populace, of course.
UK bloggers say African-Caribbeans.
Apparently the US isn’t the only predominately white nation where “youths” feel entitled to their own “justice” ...
