London Riots

The London Riots of 2011 were a series of violent disturbances that began in August, triggered by the police shooting of Mark Duggan, a man in Tottenham. Protests escalated into widespread looting, arson, and clashes with law enforcement across London and other cities. The unrest highlighted issues such as social inequality, systemic racism, and dissatisfaction with government policies. Over several days, thousands were involved, leading to significant property damage, arrests, and a national debate on youth discontent and policing. The riots prompted discussions on social justice and community relations in the UK.
