A crowd of around 300 people clashed with officers near to Tottenham police station. Missiles, including Molotov cocktails, rocks and fire extinguishers, were thrown at the officers.
A bookmaker’s shop was set alight and other shop windows were smashed. Stores in the area were looted, with people seen pushing away shopping trolleys full of stolen goods. Some of the rioters were said to look as young as seven years old.
At one point, a wheelie bin was set ablaze and pushed into lines of officers.
Later half a dozen fire engines arrived in convoy at the scene.
Police on horseback near the police station had thunderflashes thrown at them, and chased the rioters up the road.
The disturbances followed a peaceful protest in which around 120 people marched from the Broadwater Farm area to the police station.
They were voicing concerns over the death on Thursday of Mark Duggan, 29, who was killed after an apparent exchange of fire with officers. After the shooting, a police officer’s radio was found to have a bullet lodged in it, suggesting he may have narrowly escaped being struck.
Police had been attempting to carry out an arrest under Operation Trident, which deals with gun crime in the black community, according to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which is investigating the death.

Discharging a firearm in the direction of armed police ought to be simply a case of evolution in action,
A fortiori where it is British armed police. The term "armed police" in Britain does not merely mean that the constables have pistols in holsters as an ordinary part of their kit.
It is significant that armed police were deployed to make the arrest.
Britain is doomed. If you live there you best make arrangements to get out
They are reaping what they have sown.
When the Parasite kills the Host then what?
ok, so thrown objects are now missiles?
i hope they remember that when reporting a story about PA types attacking Israelis
When the Parasite kills the Host then what?
I challenge anyone to go out and find some good stories today and post; instead of the junk the left wants you to read.
The correct sentence would be "ok, so thrown objects are still missiles?"
The term has meant projectiles for centuries.
You are free to post some good stories.
I hope you do, because we need some good news amongst the reality that certain groups are hell-bent on destroying things.
There's a video of the rioting at this site.
They find a new host or start killing each other. But neither does the host any good...
Multiculturalism seems to be working out for the Brits about as well as it is for us (Wisconsin State Fair)
Seems like Western Civilization could use a new flea collar.
“gun crime in the black community”
“Only criminals will have guns,” I thought the left said that was a fallacy?????
Who knew there were still bookmaker shops?
the common parlance associated with a ‘missile’ is not an object moving through the air, but of a self propelled device of destruction. the writer was obviously trying to ‘dress it up’ a bit.
my point being, would they dress up a similar story of the ‘missiles’ were of palestinian origin

Blah blah blah.
We have been doomed since the time of Napoleon. Funnily enough, we are still here.
We call them *bookies*. They don’t bind pages between hard covers, they take bets.
