"Protesters have attacked police after thousands of people turned up to a demonstration that officers had "strongly advised" against attending. Officers suffered broken bones and police vans were set alight as angry scenes unfolded in Bristol city centre. Crowds had gathered for the Kill the Bill demonstration in opposition to the Police and Crime Bill. Demonstrators scaled a police station, threw fireworks into the crowd and daubed graffiti on the walls. Avon and Somerset Police said what had started "as a peaceful protest" had been "turned by a small minority into a violent disorder". Two police vehicles were set on fire, damage was caused to a police station, one officer suffered a broken arm and another suffered broken ribs, the force added." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-56477887

A bit ironic. Bristol has always been a bit rioty. There's an active contingent of "anarchist", leftie, woke, squatter scum.

People are bored, and whats better than starting a riot.
Besides, it will keep the police fit instead of sat there stuffing their faces getting fat.

It'll take their minds off murdering women I suppose.

I just cannot get behind a police doctrine that stands an watched their vehicles get burned. I hear what "specialist" cops say but I think it's convenient bullshit.

I do wonder if Dibble thinks it's a zero sum game. Cops beating seven shades out of a supine crusty are bad PR and will set community policing back years. Good. Crack some f**k**g skulls. People should be frightened by the police.

They should put the 10,000 soldiers on the streets to police instead of sacking them all. Boris has no forward thinking, no brains that idiot.

I think that 10,000 fewer troops thing is slight of hand. I think the forces are already 10,000 short, especially in the infantry.

The Tories are known for putting the "n" in cuts.

Thing is, they aren't really cuts. It was the same with the "increased" nuclear warheads last week.

I wonder if dibble realise how much damage they're doing to themselves by seemingly being unable to judge how to act in the face of various types of protest. It seems that any protest that looks to be a bit tasty gets to do as they please and any peaceful protest gets attacked.

Light a candle for a dead woman and get wrestled to the ground, set a police van on fire and watch them stand around doing nothing. Same applies to the protestors of course. Defending the right to peaceful protest isn’t achieved by violent protest.

Anyway, the UK's falling apart thanks to Johnson. It's all part of the cunning plan to take control, turn the UK into a police state, the ultimate aim of Brexit. Like we all said four years ago. When the dirty work's been done, Johnson'll be removed and become Lord Johnson of Rutland.

Was there much heavy-handed policing of the anti-lockdown protest in London?

Did they set fire to any police vans?

No idea, I didn’t know it had happened until this morning and have only seen a couple of pictures. Just wondering if this non-socially distanced protest merited the same treatment as some women standing in a field.

Don’t panic love, it’s not the dreaded Woke coming to get you. It’s someone asking a question precisely because she does not know what happened.
