"Police arrest eleven people after 'assault on officers' as thousands of Black Lives Matter activists marched on US embassy in London and crowds gathered peacefully around UK demanding 'justice' for George Floyd killed by cops 4,000 miles away in US

Eleven people were arrested in London today as thousands of Black Lives Matter protesters peacefully marched on the US Embassy in London, with hundreds more taking to the streets of Cardiff and Manchester, to demonstrate against the killing of George Floyd.

Chants of, 'I can't breathe,' rebounded across the Thames this afternoon, the words Floyd was heard gasping before his death as a white police officer knelt on his neck in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Monday.

They defied the ban on mass gatherings to rally at Trafalgar Square before making their way to the gates of Downing Street and then south of the river towards the US Embassy.

Three people were arrested for breaching coronavirus legislation, said police, while two others were detained for assaulting officers. The other arrests were for a range of offences from possession of an offensive weapon to assault on police, obstructing a public carriageway to breaches of COVID legislation.

So not about George Floyd. The planet was getting tired of being cooped up for one thing.

This was also planned by G.S.

God I truly hope all these rioters and protesters get covid-19 and infect their families. One can hope.

"The planet was getting tired of being cooped up for one thing."

Indeed!

And what...90% of these "demonstrators" / rioters are probably 30 y.o. or less?

I’m glad I visited England over 30 years ago if that’s what is there now. Perhaps they were flown there just like Minnesota. . . . .Looks evil to me.
