Thirty-five officers were injured and over one-hundred and sixty people arrested over the weekend. The violence broke out in the gritty north London suburb of Tottenham on Saturday night amid community anger over a fatal police shooting of a 29-year-old father of four. Police said “copycat criminal” violence spread to other parts of the city Sunday night and early Monday, including, briefly, London's busy shopping and tourist district at Oxford Circus.
Unbelievable scenes. Even as I was just having lunch there, there were live scenes of fires. It's weird to see as a Tottenham fan who knows this area so well.

Shocking. And we are supposed to live in a civilized world...
