Alright, you chaps across the Pond have been sitting on this one for a while, so I'll break it out instead. I've been seeing pictures on social media since Sunday night, but the news outlets have been curiously quiet.
Well, the Beeb just put this out so I'll link it here:

I'm reminded a lot of the 2011 London riots, although there were less guns involved admittedly, but still the spark behind it was similar and there was equal opportunism.
I don't recall baton rounds or tear gas being used though...but, like I said, more guns being thrown around over there so the police probably don't want to risk taking a softer approach and being sprayed by someone with an M16.
