According to the BBC, police officers came in for multiple attacks in west Belfast on Tuesday night. Landrovers had stones thrown at them at about 10:50 pm in the Springfield Road area, while police were attacked with a petrol bomb, bricks and bottles at Distillery Street (near Grosvenor Road) and on 2 other occasions on the Springfield Road.

These sorts of assualts are disgusting. These teenagers' idea of a good time is attacking the nearest authority figure out of some sort of resentment that their own life is so meaningless that they have nothing else to be doing. Of course had the police decided to arrest the little darlings, their parents would have been straight out claiming brutality!

How depressing that we live in a world with priorities this fucked up.
