LONDON (AP) — A number of British police officers have been injured as far-right activists faced off with anti-racism protesters following a stabbing rampage at a dance class earlier this week that left three girls dead and several wounded. With dozens of protests scheduled to take place around the country this weekend, police have mounted a significant security operation, deploying thousands more officers onto the streets, many in their riot gear. On Saturday, Merseyside Police said a number of officers were injured during the “serious disorder” in center of Liverpool, which is about 20 miles away from the scene of the stabbing attack in the seaside town of Southport in the northwest of England.
