Britain is facing a serious crisis of violence after three consecutive days of riots and looting in numerous cities, erupted after police shot a man to death in Tottenham, London.

British Prime Minister David Cameron, who cut short his vacation in Italy following the events due to the conflict, affirmed that he would do everything possible in their power to restore order in the capital and elsewhere, as street protests and riots continued.

British Prime Minister David Cameron will gather his crisis-response committee again Wednesday after a fourth night of violence hit London neighborhoods and spread to other cities in England. The prime minister also confirmed that the Parliament would meet Thursday to discuss the crisis.

Riots in London spread across England

According to a BBC report, the police and firefighters were confronting the demonstrations, which spread in the last few hours from eastern Hackney and southern Lewisham, Peckham, Croydom and Claham Junction to northern Camden and Einfield and West Ealing.

Police reported outbreaks of violence Tuesday evening in Wolverhampton and West Bromwich, about 100 miles north of London, and in the northwestern city of Manchester. A library and supermarket have been set aflame, informed Jeff Gill from the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Department.

After Gunning Down Protest turned into violent riots in London

The protests began last Saturday in the locality of Tottenham after Mark Duggan, 29, was shot dead by the police while he was trying to escape from being arrested.

Cameron announced that 16,000 police would take to the capital’s streets to take the events under control, which he described as simply and purely of a delinquent nature.

According to analysts, previous criminal actions by the Metropolitan Police have made the death of Duggan into a recurrent event.

Tottenham, London has witnessed riots before

Tottenham, the London low income neighborhood, has been the site of riots before. In 1985, Floyd Jarrett, who was of Afro-Caribbean origin, was stopped by police near the Broadwater Farm estate in Tottenham on suspicion of driving with a forged tax disc at his country, a document all British vehicles must carry.

A few hours later, officers raided the nearby home of his mother, who collapsed and died during the raid. Rioting in London erupted shortly afterward, and a police officer was killed in the riots in London.
