A known violent criminal, who was also dealing in drugs, shot a policeman while resisting arrest. The Police then shot him dead. A few misguided members of his family instead of discussing the incident with the family's officer assigned to them, decided to go on a civil protest claiming police brutality on the black community. Unfortunately other members of the same community saw this as an excuse to loot, damage and set fire to property that belonged to others.
Due to this people are not able to go for work and do other activities out of fear.
This is how it started.
Can you explain what happened?
I literally know nothing of this.

Good God this seems worse than I thought.
No one is being killed or injured are they?
Or is it just destruction and looting?
This is really sad and also scary it has escalated so much over the past few days. I hope anyone who lives out there stays indoors and safe.
Not sure what you are talking about, every case will have an officer registered. It is the family's responsibility to contact them rather than protesting.No one was sent to the family it is quite an "embarrassing" matter for the police. The bullet in the Police officer was from his own gun.

Also unless there is a solid source, the claims that the cop shot himself is just media speculation and quite hard to believe.

I just stated the facts that are universally available to us, which still has to be disproven. It is not new that various conspiracy theories pop up my the medias/community's action during incidents like this. Thus relying on the news seems like the only reasonable way to get the correct facts.Read in red what you said :
They did ask for an officer but no one came, it is then that they decided to protest peacefully in front of the Police. How sad is it that you find out info about your dead son from the news like everyone else while he was shot by Police? My gfriend sister was at the protest. Wait you will hear the real story soon enough...

Yup, you have a point, but what are the true circumstances then? From whom should we get the 'true' facts then? It is the broadcasters job to state the news based on the reliability of their source or else they will lose their credibility if they are disproven. (Fox news in America for example). And a simple reason that the police are refraining from releasing a statement is out of fear of making matters worse.Let's think together here. The news is reported by journalists who interview people and the Police. They get different opinions and CHOOSE to post one version. The one that they choose does not necessarily mean it is the true story. The Police cannot release this information before coming up with a proper plan. They said that it will take 4 to 6 months to come up with a full story. This is highly unusual since we always know what happens when a person has been killed in London a day after the incident. There is no official statement by the Police, not even that they tried to arrest an armed men who shot first, none.
I am not just trying to disagree with you for the sake of it.

You do have some valid points, but I would rather believe news broadcasters that have years of credibility and goodwill backing them rather than rumours emerging from the streets.
Well what I think is there are misguided and aggreviated people not only in this country but all throughout the world who wishes opputunities like this would happen so that they can do what they like under the facade of a 'protest' or a 'riot' and get away with it. Initially it sparks off with a small group but when the others like them find that they are effective, they contribute to the cause and it spreads like a chain reaction.That's fair enough...What do you think is causing this domino effect in the country?
