Protests over budget cuts in London turned violent today. Paint bombs and ammonia filled light bulbs were thrown at police officers by protesters. Hopefully this is all the violence that comes out of the London protests and everything ends peacefully!
Police say protesters have thrown paint bombs and light bulbs filled with ammonia at officers in London’s center during a demonstration against budget cuts.
London’s Metropolitan Police said Saturday a group of black-clad demonstrators also threw paint bombs at shops and banks on the main shopping streets of Oxford Street and New Bond Street.
The group had broken away from a larger march organized by the Trade Union Council to protest against government cuts to public services.
Organizers say the main demonstration has attracted at least 100,000 people and is otherwise peaceful.
