Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of US cities yesterday for an eighth consecutive night of protests over the death of a black man in police custody.

In Washington, DC, protests were held near the park where demonstrators were cleared out by police on Monday to make a path for US President Donald Trump so he could walk from the White House to a historic church for a photo.

Dozens of National Guard troops lined up on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial behind black crowd-control barriers. On Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, hundreds of people filled the street from curb to curb, marching past famous landmarks of the film centre. Hundreds of protesters also gathered in Denver and Seattle but remained peaceful as darkness fell in the West. A Reuters/Ipsos poll released yesterday found a majority of Americans sympathise with the protests.

In Minneapolis, Roxie Washington, mother of Floyd's six-year-old daughter, Gianna, told a news conference he was a good man.

Shame on your shame on you!

Bored people without life seeking anarchic games to play. Water cannon tear gas flash bangs, and prosecution.Trump need to harden up and send everyone home with one time warning.

But what does Michael O'Leary and Patrick McDonagh think on this issue? Or do we only give airtime & headlines to business owners, that have no background or expertise on the issue at hand such as public health and infectious diseases, when they have a vested interest?

Will you stop saying ‘the death of a black man in police custody’. Sanitising this or diluting it makes you part of the problem. he was murdered by police in full view of the world. BlackLivesMattter

Fify over years of institutionalised racism by police and state. Thousands of people assaulted and shot at by police for being outside and black.
