Yes there isn't insufficient information but that doesn't stop, as you say, some CF posters being content to presume the police have no case to answer with regards to the shooting. The rioting is pathetic and does no one any good and the community leaders, the family of the man who was shot and others have been quick to condemn the rioting.

We're dealing with two different issues here and just as the shooting doesn't justify the riots, the riots does not remove the question of how police handled the incident which led to the death of Mark Duggan. There seems to be a view that anyone who expresses sympathy with those concerns, as those community leaders did, is condoning the violence. The reality is more complicated than that.
