Violence that broke out during a "Kill The Bill" protest was caused by people who "came for a fight with police", Bristol's chief constable has said.

The event was organised to protest against the government's Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill that would increase police powers to deal with non-violent demonstrations.

However, what started out peacefully on Sunday afternoon turned ugly after hundreds of protesters marched from College Green to the New Bridewell police station.

There never was a more self-evident statement: 'The violence was caused by people who came to cause the violence'.

Or, did they come for something else—perhaps grocery shopping—but changed their mind amid all the enthusiasm??
