Not in the slightest. What it looks like is protestors attempted to force the police line
and the police forced them right back again. Violence then ensued. The reporter says, right at the beginning of the report, that "six petrol bombs were recovered". Petrol bombs are not something you improvise in the middle of a fight. You prepare them beforehand. The people spoiling for a fight here were the protestors.

The report was inaccurate.

Now come on, you dont have to believe everything you hear.
The report does give a very one sided point of view, you will always have some elements that spoil for a fight in which ever crowd situation you are in. The problem was their were innocent protesters including kids etc. who were jammed up against a violent response from the old bill. As I said it was fine until the march bottle necked at the blockade and then it went properly scarey

I made my judgement from how it looked.
The protestors rushed the line.

I completely understand
And of course the news outlets get the most "accurate offcial" reports from the old bill and can adapt it accordingly.
It is a bit like saying... I made my judgement on giving birth from a book I read called here comes the stork

That is how it was reported.
That is not what I saw.
