Londres: révolte logique à Tottenham

La révolte qui a éclaté samedi soir à Tottenham, dans le nord de Londres, après l'assassinat par la police, mardi, d'un homme de 29 ans, rappelle celle de 1985, après la mort d'une femme au cours d'une perquisition policière. Les images que nous publions préfigurent l'avenir proche de l'Europe, lorsque le système n'aura plus à offrir que du plomb et du gaz aux braves gens mis sur la paille par les banksters.

Hundreds of angry protesters gathered near Tottenham police station in north London on Saturday evening demanding justice for the fatal shooting of a 29-year-old man during an apparent exchange of gunfire with police officers on Thursday. As riot police were brought into the area, crowds torched two patrol cars, a bus and a shop outside the police station on the High Road in Tottenham, smashing up shop windows.

In 1985, similar protests and subsequent riots happened in Tottenham after a woman died during a police search of her home.
