[EDIT] So what is kicking off in South London? 22 police injured in clashes with a large crowd. Sounds like something that could escalate into an eighties style riot.
Basically it was an impromptu, unlicensed music festival and when the police came to break it up, people fought back and drove them away. Watched a video of one them as the crowd was basically chasing the cops away.
To the extent of it being political, people were shouting "Gang shit" repeatedly while it was all going down.
Horrible that so many were injured, hopefully the 2 police who were hospitalised can get a swift and full recovery.
