Duggan in the USA? Do you mean the UK?
Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old Tottenham resident, was shot and killed by police in Tottenham, North London, England, on 4 August 2011. The Metropolitan Police stated that officers were attempting to arrest Duggan on suspicion of planning an attack, and that he was in possession of a handgun. Duggan died from a gunshot wound to the chest. The circumstances of Duggan's killing resulted in public protests in Tottenham[1] which, fuelled additionally by poverty and racial tension, led to conflict with police and escalated intoriots across London and, though less so, other UK cities.[2] This in turn is widely seen as the proximate cause of the 2011 England riots. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Mark_Duggan
