Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on police tactics and use of force policies in urban riots Paper must be at least 1500 words. Please, no plagiarized work! &nbsp.Rioters apparently used social media and mobile telephone communication to spread organized acts of property destruction, looting, and theft at locations across the city. TV news reports showed youth robbing sneakers, clothes, food, drinks, and electronics from stores, in apparent acts of opportunism seeming to have nothing to do with the legitimate political protest. Arson was a tactic used to devastating effect by the looters, and the London riots of 2011 are defined symbolically in visual media by these images. In analyzing the police response and traditional tactics of law enforcement in urban uprisings, the practicalities inherent in law and order response can be balanced against the civil rights issues guaranteed in human rights and constitutional protections.

The encounter precipitating the London riots involved the death of Mark Duggan, who was killed by UK police officers using deadly force under questionable circumstances. Duggan was shown not to have fired his weapon, despite being illegally armed. (Wells and Jeffery, 2011) When a community protest organized in front of a police station to demonstrate against the Duggan killing spontaneously, police reportedly used a crowd protection shield to strike a 16-year-old girl. (Wells and Jeffery, 2011) Therefore, the initial riots in London can be attributed directly to two acts of police violence that were likely unwarranted and one of which resulted in a civilian death. From these situations, the riots spread through ideological contagion that was given fuel by the discontentment, exclusion, and apparent hopelessness of thousands or millions of youth across England.&nbsp.
