Police cars have been set on fire during a demonstration outside a police station in north London, according to witnesses.

Tottenham resident, Maria Robinson, says the disturbance is linked to the fatal shooting of a man during a Scotland Yard operation on Thursday.

Dozens of protesters have been gathering on the High Road in Tottenham.

The British government is going to have to seriously get back to the business of law and order to fix this.

The man whom police shot dead is said to be drug dealer. But a “big man” in the local community, apparently.

You know what’s so genius? They’re mad that police shot a member of their community, so what do they do? Riot and destroy the crap out of said community! Tottenham is such a...well, I don’t think the FR filter will allow that one.

Nowhere in the BBC account is there any indication that this was a racial incident. PC trumps reporting.

” during a demonstration... says the disturbance....

Love that BBC, they don’t pull any punches, those guys. Call it like it is, except when it is a Jamaican-African riot. Man, why would anyone trust these turds to truly report what is going on?

I’m not saying things are wonderful for our Friends who are faced with rampant socialism, but we could take a lesson from them.

We are so afraid of being labeled with the “T” word, always feel we have to take the high road, and try to solve problems with people who have a mental illness (Liberals), that we we have forgotten how to stand up and FIGHT for what we believe in.

Think I am wrong?

Look where we are today.

Good, welcome to the wages of forced multiculturalism/diversity and socialism.

I guess the message here is to stay away from Tottenham. I know I will.
Let the animals do what they will. (shrug)

The real problem only arises when money (tax money) is confiscated from OTHER people to pay for the cleanup. That is where the outrage should be. But then, Britain voters are ultimately the ones responsible for the government they have and for the “risk free” love and mothering of the socialist welfare state they gave themselves. You know - - the kind of socialist welfare state Ubama and the Democrats want for America.

How’s that working out for them?
