It was an armed unit attempting to arrest this guy on gun charges, the cops say they surrounded the mini cab (taxi) and the guy started shooting at them.

The UK police have guns but only specific officers for specific reasons.

Is it London Bridge? I've heard it has a tendency to do that sometimes.

Thoughts and Prayers; Croydon looks like a giant bonfire

From what Ive been reading its a similar situation to Vancouver; one small riot about the killing has turned into multiple riots.....just because its cool to riot, mob mentality.

To be fair, Croydon always either looks like a giant bonfire, or the aftermath thereof.

You leave my English home alone, you colonial bashtard! Even as a wee child, I've have fond memories of family trips that included concrete, crime, and a symphony of car alarms!

I expect this kind of behaviour to begin getting more common in Europe over the next decade or so.

*sigh*

I always side with police in this situation and feel sorry for them, especially those that weren't involved in the original incident. It's discrimination by uniform.

Imagine trying to make a living as a police officer and just because you have that uniform on, you're now getting caught in this with crazy goons throwing lit gascans at you!

Girlfriend and her family is headed there for a few days this week before they come back home on Saturday. Hopefully their hotel isn't anywhere near this.
