The riot was all about a police officer who killed a young man identified has Mark Duggan. According to BBC (2011) Duggan was a young man of 29 years and a father to 4 lovely children. He was killed by a police officer in Ferry Lane,Tottenham, north London on a Thursday when he resist to be arrested by the specialist firearm officer. They was no information on why the victim was killed by the police officer.

Firstly, it was a peaceful protect which led to a racial riot. Stores, cars, buildings were vandalised and most people seized the opportunity to plunder around the area. All investigations made by the Investigator for the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) show that two shots were fired by a Scotland Yard CO 19 firearms officer and initial report confirmed a bullet was found lodged in a police officer's radio was a jacketed round. It was also claimed that a shotgun was found close to the victim but there was no evident if it was truly fired by the victim. Haven't said this, I believe there is more to the killing of Mark Duggan by the police officer as the police officer refuse to make a statement to the general public on what really led to the killing of the victim Mark Duggan.
