Tottenham riots. One can easily dismiss the underlying sentiment and totally miss the message posted.

Some reports are suggesting an altercation between a female and police may have sparked wider violence.

London disturbances - Sunday 7 August

"One man "holed up in a church 10 metres away from the Tottenham riot". He told the Guardian that he saw the girl "throw some card and something else, maybe a stone, at the original riot police line".
He said the girl was then "pounded by 15 riot shields". He said that the police "launched into her with startling force using both batons and shields. She went down on the floor but once she managed to get up she was hit again before being half-dragged away by her friend."
He added: "After she was removed there were a few minutes of peace and then lots of glass bottles started being thrown, we could hear them."
