A British protester has been convicted of trying to endanger the life of a police officer by torching a van during the riot that followed the “Kill the Bill” demonstrations in Bristol last spring.

Ryan Roberts, 25, led chants of “ACAB: All cops are [expletive]s” outside Bridewell police station on the afternoon of March 21 before throwing cans, bottles and placards at officers.
