Avon and Somerset police tweeted: “We’re aware of a video showing a journalist being confronted by officers during last night’s protest in Bristol. The case for an independent investigation into the policing of the Bristol protests is clear,” she tweeted. On Tuesday, Adam Cantwell-Corn and Alon Aviram of Bristol news website the Cable said they were threatened with force by a police officer while covering the protest.
