The prime minister condemned ‘thuggery’ in anti-racism rallies as skirmishes outside the US embassy came astook to cities across the UK and around the world. Much of the anger is directed towards police, following the death of George Floyd, a black man, in Minneapolis, after a white officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes.Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick said 14 officers were injured and 29 people were arrested.
His intervention comes as Black Lives Matter protests around the world hit out at police brutality and racism. Bottles were thrown at police who caught someone trying to pull a flag at the Cenotaph in London at around 8.45pm. A far smaller crowd than earlier in the day shouted ‘no justice, no peace’ as they moved down Whitehall and let off smoke bombs as a police helicopter buzzed overhead.Protesters closed a section of The M6 for an hour after dozens of people strayed onto the motorway near Coventry at around 6.
Protesters then marched on Parliament Square, where rapper Stormzy joined demonstrators and listened as the crowd, many of whom were black, spoke about the struggle for equality and the need for solidarity.
