Police cars set on fire in north London street clashes

Tottenham in north London is described as a « war » zone as groups of young men clash with riot squad officers after the shooting of Mark Duggan. One rioter tells Channel 4 News « this has been coming ».

Two police cars, a bus and buildings were set on fire as missiles were thrown after an angry crowd gathered in protest at the shooting of a local man by police in a planned operation two days ago. Twenty-nine-year-old Mark Duggan died on Thursday after he was shot as he travelled in a minicab.

More than 100 people marched from the Broadwater Farm estate to Tottenham police station earlier in an organised demonstration which spilled over into violent protest directed at the police.

On the north side of Tottenham High Road one rioter, who gave his name as « Jamal », told Channel 4 News: « These are our ends, we’re here to tell the police they can’t abuse us, harass us. We won’t put up with it, this is just the beginning, this is war, and this is what you get – fire. »

« Jamal » was one of a group of young men smashing up bricks a few metres away from a line of some 150 riot squad officers. The police line contained 11 mounted officers, and around ten officers with dogs. Rioters threw bricks and bottles at the police line, but the majority of the crowd, of around 400 people, were watching the clashes rather than taking part.

The pockets of active men – around 10 groups – wore bandanas as they roamed the frontline with baseball bats and sticks.

One man who threw bricks at the officers told Channel 4 News he « laughed » when he was asked why he was doing it: « Don’t ask me why I’m doing this, ask them, this has been coming for a long time. »  Read more …
