Belfast Rioter Torches Police Vehicle

Since the Protestant Orangemen's annual July 12 parades, there have been three consecutive nights of violent clashes between police and nationalist youth, according to Northern Ireland's Belfast Telegraph. The brutal demonstrations began after the police allowed the traditional parade against the wishes of a group of nationalist residents, says the paper. New footage from Belfast shows a rioter torching a police vehicle:
