Protester who set fire to police vehicles during riot that followed Kill the Bill demonstration in Bristol jailed for 14 years

The protest was against the Government's Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill.

As the protest turned violent, Roberts threw cans, bottles and placards at officers, and verbally abused them. The 25-year-old who had taken cocaine and had been drinking, also smashed the windows of the police station.Roberts said the mood of the protest had changed when police donned riot gear and officers started "pushing, shoving and hitting" the crowd with shields and batons.More than 40 officers were injured in the riot, which died down in the early hours of 22 March.

Bit extreme, then again its a pretty stupid move to protest against laws outlawing protest by burning police property. Kind of justifying the thing you're arguing against.

So he got 14 years for setting fire to police cars, but a mother this week who allowed the brutal murder of her young toddler got 8 years. I’m not saying it’s ok to set fires, but the justice system in this country is an absolute joke.
