RIP Mark Duggan

Mark Duggan, the British man whose murder by police set off several days of rioting and looting throughout the UK in early August, was buried in North London today.

"There is an inquiry underway into what happened to cuae his death, but there have been no results so far."

Duggan, a 29 year-old father of four, was shot twice by police officers who had stopped him while he was riding in a minicab. The police said that he fired first, but the handgun that was allegedly in his possession had not been discharged at the time of the murder. These same lying cops claim that they had been watching him, and knew that he was on his way to avenge the murder of his cousin.
The police who killed Duggan were part of the Specialist Firearms Command (CO19), accompanying officers from Operation Trident, a London Metropolitan police unit that focuses on the black community.

Cameron also said he's considering banning individuals from social media if they are suspected of plotting criminal activity. Many young people in the melees were seen communicating by BlackBerry mobile e-mail and smartphone devices.

"Free flow of information can be used for good, but it can also be used for ill," Cameron said. "And when people are using social media for violence we need to stop them.

"So we are working with the police, the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these Web sites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder and criminality," he said.

He later told reporters Home Secretary Theresa May would hold meetings with Facebook, Twitter and BlackBerry maker Research in Motion to discuss their responsibilities to prevent future incidents.
