Demonstrations in Adelaide also protest deaths of indigenous Australians in custody

People march in solidarity with protests in the United States on June 6, 2020 in Melbourne, Australia.Black Lives Matter protests across Australia on Saturday got under way against a backdrop of possible clashes between demonstrators and police in Sydney, after a court sided with police that the gathering posed too much risk for spreading the coronavirus.

Floyd, a Black man, died in handcuffs while a Minneapolis police officer pressed a knee on his neck even after he pleaded for air and stopped moving. Early reports from Sydney said there was a crowd of about 500 and a large police presence about an hour ahead of the scheduled protest. There was one early scuffle when police removed a man who appeared to be a counter protester carrying a sign saying, “White Lives, Black Lives, All Lives Matter.”

DC Mayor Has 'Black Lives Matter' Painted On Street Leading To White HouseThe local chapter of Black Lives Matter dismissed the mural as a “performative distraction from real policy changes” designed to “appease white liberals.'
