London police deploy extra officers after rioting

LONDON (AP) — Police deployed extra officers on London's streets and monitored social network sites Sunday to prevent a repeat of the rioting, looting and multiple fires in a deprived area amid community anger over a fatal police shooting.

A peaceful protest against the killing of the 29-year-old man in north London's Tottenham area degenerated into a Saturday night rampage, with rioters torching a double-decker bus, destroying patrol cars and trashing a shopping mall in the nearby Wood Green district.

"We do have extra resources out tonight on duty across the capital," police commander Christine Jones said. "We are carefully monitoring any intelligence and ensuring we have our resources in the right places. No one wants to see a repeat of the scenes that we witnessed last night in Tottenham."
