Police cars, a bus, other vhiecles, shops and a job centre were either set on fire or destroyed following rioters demanded justice after 29 year old Mark Duggan was killed by police 2 days earlier. There was also reports that rioters even looted stores (that includes a sportswear store). The Independent Police Complaints Commision are investigating the shooting incident, while the Metropolitan Police sets up a 'Gold Defense Unit' in Lambeth to sort out the situration.
The hashtag #Tottenham was trending on Twitter for pretty much worldwide.
