last chapter in the summer's riots

This last article in the triptich will be used
to show that my guess was right about the summer's riots.
It took the government 7 months to tell the populace that
the police are largely to blame for inflaming the people
of Tottenham.
Of course, PM Cameron was on tv the very next day
after the riots to pour scorn on the rioters and put
them in jail for something as insignificant as a £5 bottle
of plonk.

There was opportunistic activity, but the minority
communities in the inner cities are under police
surveillance, with ridiculous 'racist' stop & search
policies. So, they exploded into violence.
London riots are part of the culture of the last
thousand years.

Joblessness and 'toxic relations' with police are blamed for Tottenham riot
Citizens inquiry reports that London borough suffers from lack of employment and 'low self-esteem' after interviewing 700 locals

A "citizens inquiry" into the riots in Tottenham will conclude they were partly caused by high youth unemployment and toxic relations with local police, arguing the disorder reveals the need for a major regeneration project in the area.
The north London borough was the first place to suffer riots last summer, when a protest about the police shooting of local man Mark Duggan turned violent. The trouble which started in Tottenham exactly six months ago quickly spread across London and to other English cities.

The report produced by the Citizens Inquiry into the Tottenham Riots, a grassroots coalition of locals, reveals that many in the community believe their area was "left to burn".

The study, which involved interviews with 700 people, will be launched on Tuesday at an event hosted by Reading the Riots, the Guardian and London School of Economics study into the August disturbances.

More than 270 rioters were interviewed in the Reading the Riots study, which found the government had mistaken the role of gangs and social media in the riots. It also found that hostility toward police, particularly over the use of stop and search, was a big factor.

The home secretary, Theresa May, later announced a police review of the use of stop and search and the Metropolitan police commissioner, Bernard Hogan-Howe, indicated the tactic is to be reformed in the capital.

The Tottenham report was written by a panel of nine commissioners, including four members of the clergy and a headteacher. It paints a picture of a community suffering from a poor reputation and low self-esteem.

It identified poor relations with police and a lack of jobs in the area as important "causes" of the riots. Criminal "opportunism" was also considered significant.

"From the stories we heard, there has been a long-term deterioration of the relationship between people in our community and the police, in particular young people from ethnic minorities," it will say. "Stop and search was frequently described as being excessive and disrespectful."

It adds: "A concerted effort is needed by all parties to rebuild a more positive relationship between community in Tottenham and the police" and says large numbers "feel Tottenham was left to burn".

The report proposes involving the community in the training of new police recruits in the Haringey borough and calls on the Met to "increase diversity" among its officers.
