Rioting continued unabated for a third night in London neighborhoods.With arrests reaching over 500 and one death reported, police are considering distribution of rubber bullets to the 16,000 officers that will be out trying to quell the riots tonight

Thirty-five officers were injured and over one-hundred and sixty people arrested over the weekend. The violence broke out in the gritty north London suburb of Tottenham on Saturday night amid community anger over a fatal police shooting of a 29-year-old father of four. Police said “copycat criminal” violence spread to other parts of the city Sunday night and early Monday, including, briefly, London's busy shopping and tourist district at Oxford Circus.
