The killing of unarmed African-American man George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis initially started a wave of global protests and riots including in Australia all to stand in solidarity with the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement.
Mr Floyd’s death and the subsequent riots have spurred calls across the globe to de-fund and abandon traditional policing, while a six-block zone in the heart of Seattle including a police precinct has been seized by protesters who claim it to be an autonomous community free of police. Statues and iconic TV and film have also been pulled apart and removed from public viewing.
