Riots ensue in the United Kingdom

The rise of antisocial behaviour that has been raising serious concerns has turned into full-scale riots across major cities of Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and London. The riots had started in Manchester following a minor case where an unarmed Nigerian man was beaten by the English Defence League for being Muslim. As the riots grew, protest movements from the student population had eventually joined and nostalgia of the 2011 riots is present. The respective devolved police forces have responded accordingly however more have been taking to the streets in the light of police brutality that have caused the injuries to suspects from ethnic backgrounds, bringing in a strong racial element to these protests.
