16 year-old girl beaten by police in tottenham

Was The Beating Of A 16 Year-Old Girl By Police The Real Reason Behind The Riots?

Posted on August 9, 2011 by Big Red in Political Booty, WTF Booty and tagged 16 year-old girl beaten by police in tottenham, cover-up, eye witness account of riots on bbc news, mark duggan, tottenham riots, what casued tottenham riots.

This report, first broadcast late Saturday night on BBC News 24, goes into some detail about the possible cause of the initial riot in Tottenham, which some argue led to further civil unrest across the country’s capital last night. It comes from an eyewitness who the BBC contacted to establish what was happening in the area at the time. As you will hearĀ  he explains that the flash point came when police were approached by a 16 year-old girl wanting answers surrounding the death of Mark Duggan, she walked up to a line of officers armed with batons to make a statement and was ‘set upon’ by the police who beat her to the ground.

This report hasn’t been broadcast since and there has been no reference by any news media outlet of the event ever taking place. Below is a video taken by another witness who managed to film some of the incident.
