Mark Duggan killed by anonymous cop with illegal bullet Met. impunity

London Rioting Analysis Tony Gosling RT 09th August 2011
As London embraces for the fourth day of looting and rioting, investigative journalist Tony Gosling told RT that the whole generation of British young people feel betrayed and the killing of Mark Duggan last week was a spark.
"It's about a crisis of leadership in this country. Our PM does not really connect with the people, and the policy he is implementing is actually dictated to him by the banks; he has lost touch with ordinary people. There is also a crisis at the Metropolitan police,"
Gosling believes the English are confronted with the whole generation of young people many of whom voted for the first time in the general election last year for Liberal Democrats, and feel betrayed.
"They all are angry. The killing last week was the spark, and it is not the only death of an ethnic minority that the police have been responsible for," he said. "We have had about 340 deaths, mostly of ethnic minorities in police custody over the last 12 years -- that's about one a month, and not a single conviction of a police officer! This is a message that this killing last Thursday is not going to go unanswered."
"We need a reexamination of the way we investigate these various deaths of people either in custody or as people were being arrested, because it starts to look like some kind of shoot-to-kill policy out there," he added.
Gosling told RT that unless there is some decisive action from the Prime Minister and the government the riots are likely to continue.
"I do not see that decisive action happening. What we need first of all is for Cameron to recall the very well-respected policeman who resigned to run the Metropolitan Police and to give them a boost in morale," he said.
"And we need to know the names of the police officers and the firearms people who shot Mark Duggan; for the society it would be nice to see the officer who fired that fatal shot arrested -- it will give a lot of confidence that the police are not above the law," he concluded.
Tensions could once again be stoked after initial ballistic tests suggested that shooting victim Mark Duggan did not actually fire at police officers.

@CryptWarrior69 stfu you little bitch.

@magicunderpants There is no video of Duggan with a gun.

There is an allegation though,that has been made by his killers who have already been caught lying twice.

Its funny how Ian Tomlinsons killers never had any contact with Tomlinson until video footage appeared showing them attack him from behind.

@LeGette88 you only need to carry a gun for your safety if you're a criminal. please please don't say that it's a ghetto and all that shit, i was born and bred in a similar area so am well aware that the only people caught up in this stuff are trouble makers.
