Another wave of demonstrations kicked off across the globe on Saturday, with tens of thousands—from Germany and France to Mexico and Australia—turning out in solidarity with U.S. protesters against the death of George Floyd, while also denouncing racism and police brutality within their own countries.
In London, tens of thousands of people peacefully gathered in Parliament Square on Saturday afternoon, holding signs paying homage to George Floyd, before demonstrating in front of the U.S. embassy.
A fresh wave of anti-racism protests kicked off across Germany on Saturday, filling up cities like Berlin, Dusseldorf, Cologne and Nuremberg.
Thousands crowded into Alexanderplatz in Berlin’s city center with signs that read “Black Lives Matter” and “No justice, no peace,” German publication DW reported.
In Hamburg protests turned ugly as police used pepper spray and water cannons to forcibly disperse protesters, with law enforcement blaming hundreds of “hooded and aggressive people.”
In Mexico, protests flared and turned violent, with demonstrators demanding justice for construction worker Giovanni Lopez, who was allegedly beaten to death in police custody last month.
Protesters in Mexico City vandalized the U.S. embassy, which has been put on lockdown, while in Guadalajara they clashed with police—and one officer was even set on fire (he survived).

Pink Soros
Stupid Aussies...
Now I’m concerned about New Zealand ...they are completely open now...just need to open their borders again...
Amazing how people make a hero out of a criminal.
Dare any one of the Leftist scumbags to hold the sign:
Black Babies Matter
Anybody here remember what "comintern" is?
The Aussies could care less about their Aborigines...It was just a few years ago they were throwing them into jail for merely drinking alcohol ...not drunk...
I don’t see any in that Sydney crowd...do you ???
These riots have NOTHING to do with George Floyd, the drug addict and ex con.
This is ALL scripted and part of the globalist elite’s play book.
Excellent post.
So, are we to believe that the violence in Mexico is by American “white supremacists”? The media spin to ignore Antifa has been amazing.
The world is finally catching on that this has absolutely nothing to do with the death of a drugged out felon. It’s the worldwide communists and their leftist puppets all over the globe trying to make their big move.
I think this is coordinated with the global capitalism reset summit they have planned.
Yeah, there you go; los gringos supremacistas.
In 25 years transporting injured, sick and people with mental problems, those with darker skin were the ones who struck or otherwise assaulted me by far the most frequently.
