FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Saturday night riots saw officers being targeted by bricks, bottles, furniture and other missiles after 32 of them were injured and a politician was hospitalized during disturbances on Friday.
The riots were staged by hooded youth, some of them covering their faces with British flags, over banning of a controversial loyalist march in the anti-British nationalist area of Belfast.
The police resorted to firing baton rounds and deploying water cannons to contain the situation on Saturday, though the violence was not as intense as on Friday night.
More than 600 officers from mainland Britain have been deployed to Northern Ireland, which is hit with clashes between pro-British protestant groups and anti-British groups every year before and after the twelfth of July parades by the Protestant Orange Order.
The scale of tensions on Friday led the police to call in another 400 extra forces to deal with the situation.
“The scenes were both shameful and disgraceful,” Chief Constable Matt Baggott of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said.
He said violence flared after the Orange Order called for protests against the decision to ban their march through the republican Ardoyne area of Belfast.
“Some of their language was emotive and having called thousands of people to protest they had no plan and no control. Rather than being responsible, I think the word for that is reckless,” Baggott said.
The July 12 parade marks the victory of Protestant king William III of Orange over the Catholic king James II at the Battle of the Boyne over three hundred years ago.
