Riots Continue in Belfast

Over the last two days forty-seven police officers have been injured in Belfast, several of whom are hospitalized.

Rioters have been assaulting them with bricks, stones, petrol bombs, fireworks, and bottles.

The officers had been present to keep Protestant protesters apart from a Catholic parade, but both sides turned on them.

Police have been forced to use water cannons and plastic bullets in self defense.

A section of the city has been shut down, in hopes of maintaining order.

So far, only one arrest has been made, but police are reviewing various security cameras, in the area, with the aim of prosecuting those responsible for injuring officers and causing the disturbance.
