THUGS wrecked cars belonging to NHS staff during a Kill the Bill riot.<\/p>\n

Nine vehicles in a car park used by key workers from Bristol Royal Infirmary had windscreens smashed in Sunday\u2019s protest.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A night of violence saw one officer suffer a punctured lung and broken ribs while another had a fractured arm.<\/p>\n

Some 21 officers were hurt in clashes with demonstrators, who hurled fireworks, torched vans and smashed up a police station.<\/p>\n

Rioters in Rupert Street NCP jumped on cars and battered them causing thousands of pounds of damage.<\/p>\n

Avon and Somerset Police Federation boss Andy Roebuck called them animals, adding: \u201cWhen the protesters started to disperse, the feral criminals hijacked the protest.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficers felt they were going to be killed.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Chief Constable Andy Marsh said: \u201cThere was a hardcore of criminals within those 3,000 people.\u201d Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees said it was \u201cpeople living out revolutionary fantasies\u201d.<\/p>\n

The force will mount appeals to identify suspects.<\/p>\n

The demo was promoted by Bristol Anarchist Federation and Extinction Rebellion. Some yobs defecated at the feet of officers and pictures show one woman urinating in front of police.<\/p>\n

Boris Johnson branded the riot \u201cunacceptable\u201d and Home Secretary Priti Patel said \u201cthuggery and disorder\u201d would never be tolerated.<\/p>\n

Labour\u2019s Sir Keir Starmer said it was \u201cinexcusable\u201d. But rank-and-file cops blasted top brass for failing to stand up to mob rule.<\/p>\n

Following the scenes in Bristol, riot officers in London\u2019s Park Lane fled when hundreds of thugs charged.<\/p>\n

Ken Marsh, of the Met\u2019s Police Federation, said: \u201cThe Government and senior police management have got to get a grip. If we do not act, the mob will believe they are beyond the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill would give police more power to impose conditions on non-violent protests.<\/p>\n
