Greetings, everyone.  In case you do not know, Mark Duggan was an unarmed Black man who was shot to death by a police officer in Tottenham, North London in 2011.  The widespread rioting which erupted shortly afterwards has widely been attributed to this shooting, and there may be a link. 

The inquest verdict, which was announced a few days ago, was that his killing was "lawful".

To read more, see "Deaths in Police Custody". 

I wish I could say I was shocked by this news.  But no police officer in the UK has been prosecuted for killing a Black person since 1969. 

Regards,
