Duggan Case

[Kezzieboy]

An unnecessary death is always tragic, and by the sounds of it his death could have been avoided. I belive it was a mistake on the armed officers part, a slightly itchy trigger finger, but I guess these things happen, and at least the guy that caught the bullet was actually a previously armed criminal, and not a bystander.

The death of this particular criminal was merely the straw that broke the donkeys back, and caused the riots. The riots began in protest of the fact that black people are unfairly treated by the police in London, and larger parts of the UK. And clearly this was the case, as the police have taken steps against this, such as reducing the number of 'random' stop searches.

I'll get flamed for this, but the riots (pre-looting) were almost a breath of fresh air to me. We're so passive in this country, everyone is resigned to the fact the government/police do whatever they want and that there's nothing we can do about it, that seeing people actually take action was incredible.
