Riots in the UK

[Accipiter]

BBC News understands that the CO19 officers involved in the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan in Tottenham last Thursday discharged their firearms because they believed there was a threat to human life. Their guidelines allow them to shoot in such circumstances. Another key witness, the driver of the minicab in which Mark Duggan was travelling, has yet to give his description of what happened. He is understood to be in a severe state of shock.

Totally agree that they should shoot if he was armed.

1817: Car on fire in Barnet but unrelated to rioters – apparently the engine overheated. Bad luck.

Bloody Nokia predictive text. I only texted a few of my North London mates asking if they fancied a pint.


pint -> riot

Autocorrect?

Wonder if this gives them a right to shoot the rioters who are putting human life at risk?

I don't get it :S

The joke is someone texted his mates asking if they wanted to go for a pint but predictive text replaced the word pint with riot.

1820: Apparently Ealing residents are banding together to protect their property this evening. Picture of a flyer being pushed through people’s doors has been seen but we won’t reproduce it.

When you listen to the live feed and see a black person himself say he's ashamed to be a black guy because of it, I think the whole situation is to do with race on the rioters side to be quite honest, on our side we're pointing out what we see.

Ennit it's just what we're seeing
But okay if the truth is racism then I'll admit I'm being racist :dance:
