From CNN’s Zahid Mahmood and Samantha Beech

Police officers monitor demonstrators outside the Houses of Parliament on Sunday, May 31 in London. Matt Dunham/AP Metropolitan Police arrested at least 23 protesters in London on Sunday at demonstrations showing solidarity with Americans protesting the death George Floyd. The arrests were for a variety of offenses including breaches to UK coronavirus legislation.

Protesters gathered in central London’s Trafalgar Square at 8 a.m. ET to show support to Americans for the killing of George Floyd, despite UK lockdown rules that prohibit large crowds from gathering together., police said the total number of arrests following gatherings in central London today is now 23, all for various offenses. They remain in police custody. Police said the majority of those who attended have now left the area.

"Officers have been engaging and consistently policing all gatherings this weekend, encouraging all to comply with the regulations to keep everyone safe," police said.

Hopefully the Atlanta Mayor sees this bullshit and does something about this fucking police abuse. If she wants peace she better start with her own police department. And don’t give us any more tears woman

People get fired for all little sorts of things. What they did was criminal.

The right thing to do. If PDs all across the country would do this we would live in a totally different country.

It's understandable that police would get angry too. They are supposed to be perfect or else it's all their fault.

Fire people does nothing because people can get new jobs. If the justice system doesn’t start prosecuting their own fairly, these tragedies will continue

The officers should be given a meritorious award.

Fire every one of those horrible abusive racist they attacked anybody They are just white supremist hiding in the system FIRE them all

Most excellent!

You mean Black Women? I am you are not permitted to tase white ones?

So protestors just carry a megaphone like that in their hip pocket! SURE! CNN is evil and the ENEMY OF EVERY AMERICAN!

I'd say assault with a deadly weapon would be a good start for charges.

Arrest them!

Will criminal charges also be brought? As we’ve seen in Minneapolis the actions are no where close to bringing justice for the ex-police officer’s actions. These injustices and then the government can’t understand why the public is pissed. Think Boston Tea Party.

Police should stand on sidewalks to protect property and encourage people to protest and walk along the streets. Police should not confront people!
