    This is a photo of the aftermath of the 2011 England riots.

    Five more people died as a direct result and several others were injured.

    Why do people keep insisting on becoming more and more violent when a police officer does something they don't like?

      @mrmattimation From what I gathered, by this point people were wreaking havoc just for the sake of wreaking havoc. The original motive for protest was lost pretty quickly, and most of those involved either didn't know or didn't care why everyone was rioting, but they were like "dude let's go break some windows and loot some grapes, everyone else is doing it". That's my assumption anyway, don't know too many details. And I dunno if this is usually the case for riots.
