The 2011 England Riots are ongoing events across the United Kingdom, mainly England. Widespread public disturbances, including looting, arson attacks, burglary, robbery and some rioting, are ongoing in some cities and towns in England. The rioting began on 6 August 2011 in Tottenham, North London; other riots then occurred elsewhere in London and in some other areas of England. The events followed the fatal shooting of a 29-year-old man, Mark Duggan, by officers of the Metropolitan Police Service
A march by about 200 people in Tottenham became violent and descended into rioting.
Vandalism, arson, looting and violent disorder were also reported in several boroughs of London, extending as far south as Croydon. At least 111 police officers were injured.
Britain began flooded London's streets with 16,000 police officers from 6,0000 i.e. nearly tripling their presence as the nation feared its worst rioting in a generation which would stretch into a fourth night.
The violence has turned buildings into burnt out carcasses, triggered massive looting and spread to other U.K. cities.
