CNN
Officials have condemned violent scenes at a protest in Bristol, England that left police officers injured and vehicles ablaze, as tensions mount between law enforcement and activists over a controversial crime bill that could curtail people's ability to demonstrate.
The "Kill the Bill" protest was denounced by the government and local lawmakers after protesters clashed with police, attacking a police station and leaving some officers with broken bones on Sunday evening. "Thuggery and disorder by a minority will never be tolerated," the UK's Home Secretary, Priti Patel, tweeted, calling the scenes "unacceptable."More Related News
