Riots

[Kymmy]

The hydroshock from a hollowpoint as it mushrooms can destroy most of your internal organs.. The reason though why they're used is that it's safer for the public as a round will not go through a person and hit a bystander.

They fall under section 5 of the firearms act though there are exceptions but that wouldn't stop illegal importers/dealers as that's how most ammunition ends up on the street..

From reading between the lines here, the police are to blame.

Isn't it about time, we looked at the overall picture, a guy gets shot dead in a police operation, they must have done plenty of investigations work before doing the operation, which sadly led to the guys death.

What happened that tragic night, does NOT excuse to sick people that ran riot in Tottenham. you cannot call them people, they are sick animals.

On Sky news this evening, they were saying that looters were clearing out a PCworld site KNOW WHERE near the High Road, clearing out everything and selling it on the pavement.

We saw on TV where the yobs had there faces covered, as they didn't to be seen on screen, smashing windows ans stealing property quite openly.

This was pure and disgraceful acts of violence, and deserve severe punishment.

How on earth can you come to that conclusion?

Making a protest about something is one thing, Looting and stealing, thieving in general is what these people do all the time.! They use the rioting as an excuse for personal gain.
They`re not at all interested in what happened to the guy who was shot and killed, its just an excuse to get what they can for free. *******s.

The way the comments are going, its looking that way.

I am all for the police doing there job by any means possible, water cannon the lot, if it brings peace to the area.

Let's hope it's not true. because if it is we'll be needing the Army.

The thing that irritated me earlier was the BBC talked to one of the organisers and while he didn't give out and out support for the looters, he did not condemn them and said it was the polices fault.

IMO, the people looting didn't give a proverbial rats about the reason behind the riots. They were just in it for what they could loot. As such, they are vermin.

More updates on the situation.

BREAKING: New riots in Enfield, Edmonton, Brixton and Walthamstow

0345: Westfield shopping centre in Shepherd’s Bush is apparently quiet and peaceful despite (because?) of the heavy police presence there. Meanwhile reports are coming in that Halford’s in Chingford was attacked, as well as the Curry’s there. Both shops are close to the A406 North Circular.

0342: VIDEO: Fire at Footlocker in Brixton.
0339: Argos in Tottenham Hale was apparently looted as well. The main focus of the riots appears to have been an easy opportunity to smash into shops and steal consumer goods rather than attack the police.
0335: BBC staff have apparently been told to avoid Westfield (Shepherd’s Bush). Seems that police are expecting a concerted attack on the shopping centre, judging by earlier reports of barricades, dogs and armed police being deployed there.

0334: LBC radio is reporting that Argos in Streatham has been hit by looters.

0332: False reports by Twitterers that the army’s been called in. They haven’t. Neither has a curfew been imposed. And there isn’t a news blackout either. Where do people get these ideas from?

Police are tonight responding to copycat criminal activity across London and are deploying officers to tackle it.

There has been looting in a number of boroughs in north, east and south London by small and mobile groups. Groups of youths continue to attack police officers and a number of police vehicles have been damaged.

Three officers have been taken to hospital after being hit by a fast moving vehicle at approx 00:45hrs. The officers were in the process of making arrests in Chingford Mount, Waltham Forest, in connection with youths looting a shop. Two officers are believed to have superficial injuries and the other has an injury to his knee.

Absolutely shocking in my mind and there is no excuse for this wanton display of criminality by a lawless minority and l hope they get dealt with severely with by the criminal courts.
