Terrifying_ Footage Shows Bus Gun Attack After Man Who Complain About Mother Spanking Her Child..mp4

Asked if the Metropolitan police were slow to respond to the Tottenham riots, commander Adrian Hanstock replied: "No, not at all." That account, given outside Scotland Yard on Sunday morning, did not correlate with events that had unfolded several miles away in north London hours earlier.

What began as a gathering of around 200 protesters demanding answers over the death of Mark Duggan, who was shot dead by police on Thursday, culminated 12 hours later in a full-scale riot that saw brazen looting spread across north-London suburbs.

By 5.00am, at Tottenham Hale retail park, teenagers were still emerging from shops into the dawn sunshine, stuffing bags and trolleys with stolen goods and running into back streets.

Some officers had apprehended a handful of looters; others had their phones out and were taking pictures of a burnt-out car.

At exactly the same time, looting was taking place nearly two miles away, on Wood Green high street, where approximately 100 people had spent hours burning cars and breaking into high-street shops. Some were even filling suitcases.

As for police -- who had claimed to have "contained" disturbances six hours earlier -- there was none in sight.

By Sunday night police said there had been 55 arrests, and 26 police officers injured. Yet what marked the weekend's disturbances were not the number of people hurt but the scale of property destruction.

Throughout the borough, shops, pubs, banks and even residential properties had been ransacked and torched.

Firefighters struggled to contain a blaze at an Aldi supermarket and another fire in a building just a few hundred yards away, housing a carpet store. Both were huge fires that -- apart from the rioting -- would have made significant news events in themselves.

These were by all accounts the worst disturbances of their kind since the 1995 Brixton riots. Shocked residents emerging this morning to see the scorched, debris-strewn streets asked two questions. Why had the riot started? And how did it spread?

The crowd that gathered outside Tottenham police station at 5.30pm were by all accounts peaceful. The protesters consisted of local residents, community leaders, and some of Duggan's relatives, including his fiancee, Semone Wilson.

Protesters complained that police and the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), which is investigating Duggan's death, were not communicating with them.

Wilson, they said, had been forced to call the IPCC to identify the body; other relatives first discovered Duggan had been killed when they saw his photograph on the news.

pay attention to the man in the PHILLIES shirt. Philadelphia baseball team.

This was not in london.

Also note, drivers on left side, not right side. And the faint tone of someone talking is clearly not an english accent. Rather a East Coast, American accent. DUHHHHH

(shaking head)

CntrlAlt, you need to fix your facts. I believe this happened in Philadelphia (city in USA). You think it has to do with riots in London? Youre an idiot.

This video is from a story from the Philly paper 'bout a man confronted the woman with a child and big plastic pushcart (pushcart ? i guess) about her obnoxious kid. im sure the kid was acting like an idiot, just like her mother (often the case in bad areas in philly). the women then called those kids with the guns to act like idiots.
