That's not a good sign.

What set the riots off? I thought I read something about the someone living in a low income housing project being killed by UK police. (Very vague I know) Or was that the 1985 incident?

Edit: Nevermind the last bit. BBC news website FINALLY came back online.

Mr Duggan, 29, whose death sparked the first riots in Tottenham, died from a single bullet wound, an inquest heard.
Mr Duggan, a father of four, was shot in Ferry Lane, Tottenham, north London, on Thursday, as specialist firearms officers attempted to make an arrest.
