Protesters demand justice on the fifth anniversary of Mark Duggan’s death that sparked countrywide riots

PROTESTERS chanted that police were "murderers" as they marched through London to mark the fifth anniversary of Mark Duggan's death.

About 300 people joined forces to carry out the demonstration in Tottenham as they shouted "no justice, no peace".

They also accused the police of racism and demanded justice for people who died in controversial circumstances, including Jermaine Baker and Cynthia Jarrett.

Among the protesters were Mr Duggan's mother Pamela and his aunt Carole, who marched alongside Mr Baker's mother.

Signs and placards were held which read "white silence kills".

The demonstrators said there was no sign of institutional racism changing in the Metropolitan Police.

Tottenham Rights campaigner Stafford Scott told the crowd that instead of being in a "post-racial society", it is one in which racism is still "creeping" in.

Members of the Justice for Mark Duggan campaign walked from Broadwater Farm estate to Tottenham police station, where a vigil was held.

Mr Duggan, 29, was shot and killed by police who were trying to arrest him in north London on 4 August 2011.

The Met said at the time they suspected he was in possession of a firearm

And he suggested the Met's new counter-terrorism units may target people in Tottenham when they are not fighting terrorism.

Duggan's death in 2011 at the hands of a police marksman triggered riots across the country in which shops were looted, buildings set alight and stand-offs with police.

It quickly spread to other parts of the country, including Birmingham, Bristol and Manchester over the following few days.

An inquest jury decided in January 2014 that Mr Duggan had been lawfully killed.

On Friday, Black Lives Matter protesters blocked roads in Nottingham and roads to Heathrow Airport, in a day of anti-racist activism.
