By the way my American friends, in case you didn't know, you might feel a little "better" about this sociological cluster fuck knowing that it's happened to us Brits fairly recently too. You know what they say - misery loves company:

Quote:Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old British man, was shot and killed by police in Tottenham, North London on 4 August 2011. The Metropolitan Police stated that officers were attempting to arrest Duggan on suspicion of planning an attack, and that he was in possession of a handgun. Duggan died from a gunshot wound to the chest. The circumstances of Duggan's death resulted in public protests in Tottenham,[2] which led to conflict with police and escalated into riots across London and other English cities.[3]
