Just saw this on twitter

Police car wrecked in Enfield - most rioters looked under 16, lots of young girls throwing concrete slabs through shop windows.

To be fair it's hard to know if that's a riot or just a typical night out in Enfield. :confused:

Anyway. I see a lot of people are automatically assuming the police account of the events are legit. We do not know this, there is a investigation. It's too early to say if this was as clear cut as they make out and it's also too early to assume the police made a mistake.

It could be a copycat bandwagon type of thing just to get a few headlines

Because there should be a investigation! That doesn't mean the police are guilty but you don't write off someones death in a matter of days because the police did and they say he fired first.

If there was no-one against them, They would stop? So if they all just stopped and left it alone it would be a-lot better? IMHO

Well:

Quote:
The bullet which was found lodged in the radio of one of the officers at the scene is still undergoing forensic tests. But reliable sources have said the first ballistics examinations suggested it was a police issue bullet.

These are very distinct as the Metropolitan Police uses dum dum type hollowed out bullets designed not to pass through an object.

The early suggestion from the IPCC was that the Met officers had returned fire after someone in the minicab opened fire. But the result of the ballistics early test suggests both shots fired came from the police.

i find it hard to believe that the police would try to cover up a shooting in such a sloppy way

Yep the Police are the only people in London who have hollow point bullets...

They discovered a converted 38 Brocock revolver containing two factory-made bullets in its chamber - one was a ‘flat head’ or ‘dum dum’ bullet, which expands on impact causing extensive internal injuries.

Well we need to see what type of gun the suspect had. I am not saying the police killed him and covered it up, I am saying we need to wait and see until all the facts come out.

I ued to shoot fullbore pistol and Hollow points are the worst for damage causing.
