My personal view : 
  • Mark Duggan a 29 years old guy , a father of 4 children was shot by a police officer claiming that he was holding a gun.
  • The riots took place in Tottenham on the 6th of August , it also affected other areas in the UK.
  • Over 1500 people were arrested 
  • Too many innocent people were suffering from these riots and many of them were killed
  • Lots of people felt insecure and terror.
  • People were burned out of there homes.
  • Lots of distraction were caused by the riots whereas many cars were burnt down and shops were also destroyed.
