Just to redress some of the misinformation that's been broadcast about the Stokes Croft riot...

ETA: And a little more.

ETA: And more again from my friend Dru, this time on the question of - petrol bombs, what petrol bombs? It's beginning to look like the Banksy graffito was the only petrol bomb seen in Stoke's Croft that night.

Ooh, thanks for this. I have to say I was a bit taken aback by the petrol bombs, and am glad to hear this is just LIES from the POLICE.

There was a thread on metafilter about this story and I was struck how everybody simply assumes the story as reported in the media is distorted. Thanks for this link. I am disappointed the Guardian's headline was 'police injured in riot'.

Thanks for something rather more accurate that the crap on the airwave media and in the red tops!

I saw this earlier when I got yesterday's Independent on the plane today and the front page says "The Battle of Bristol." By this point I tend to assume the police are overreacting, overly aggressive and overly violent, and will never be held accountable. :p That 'Beat It' video makes me happy. Good luck to Stokes Croft!
