People gather in Trafalgar Square in central London on Sunday, May 31, 2020 to protest against the recent killing of George Floyd by police officers in Minneapolis that has led to protests across the US.

Atlanta police said in a statement late Saturday they had made more than 50 arrests as protesters threw rocks at officers and broke windows in the downtown area. The curfew was imposed after demonstrations Friday night turned violent with people setting fires and smashing windows at businesses and restaurants.

San Diego police officers, aided by other law enforcement agencies, walked shoulder to shoulder through the streets after 2 a.m. Sunday, telling hundreds of protesters and observers that they would be arrested for unlawful assembly if they didn’t disperse. The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that the headquarters of the nearby United Daughters of the Confederacy burned early Sunday and was marked with graffiti. Several Confederate statues along the city’s Monument Avenue were defaced with graffiti.

A dumpster was set afire near the police headquarters, which had its front windows broken out Friday night. The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported that the police fired tear gas to move crowds away from the building.

Waiting for their outrage against colonialism and how the U.K still owns assets in former colonies BravinYuri

RNS WHO CDC_eHealth Social distances do not matter as far as my situation is concerned. My care givers apparently are only required to help my incontinance. And offer other superfluous assistance. As it suits their convenience schedule. I may be in danger of self infection.

Justice for Floyd

What was the official cause of death?

_Europe Я верю вам

a bunch of idiots. No medical treatment is necessary after infection. Let them die freely. This is what they want. They went viral and their brains became zombies. Can quickly infect more people.

Who told you that Diane Abbott their was a few hundred.

OMG, in the middle of this pandemic!

I’m stunned and surprised. I figured the People of America were all alone because Trump has pissed off and offended everyone.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. It spans across all continents and international borders.

Taxes would be lower if we just went KoS on these losers. Seriously, your taxes pay for those damages. You think these loserw have jobs? Tolerance is cancer.

Did y’all forget England has a huge problem with foreigners grooming children for sexual exploitation? Zero Outrage. Where’s Tommy?

Hey you misspelled MURDER

Cc 10DowningStreet anyone going to arrest these miscreants? Or is the lockdown officially over?

Here’s how realDonaldTrump really feels. CantTrustTrump

The world citizens are sick of the all the police

They are clueless

How ridiculous. Posing as if they have any idea what they are doing (other than for the money). Cucks

Thank you London

No london gets it. To stop covid all you have to do is riot and loot and covid disappears

To bad they don’t read.

Wonder how long it'll take people to realize the rona wasn't as bad as the media was originally insinuating?

George Flloyd was a convicted criminal. The reason he was arrested by the police in the first place the night he died was because he commited another criminal act. Racism didn’t kill him, his crimimal activity did. AllLivesMatter GeorgeFloyd

Bull

Yes, people are acting like covid 19 doesn't exist. We cancelled all large scale events to protect against spread of disease then these morons aren't socially distancing at all. What gives? U can be outraged but just do it responsible manner.

London doesn't give a crap about anything in the USA they hate us

While the support is respected, if there is organized chaos and violence, it is not about George Floyd. What average citizen would protest for another country? Follow the money.

Suckers in Britain are bored!!!!

About 10-15% of London residents are black so this hits home with them as well as other citizens in London.

People have now become too restive after a lockdown of this length. No use unions etc urging caution if the actions of people on the ground brings about a de facto end to restrictions.

The root cause of all the insanity we are observing in America and around the World is unconsciousness, forgetting that everyOne is One Universal Consciousness in a different human costume. Once we remember, the insanity stops and Life is a joy to live again.

This is nothing to do with London Britain or our society. This needs to to be stopped - we are still under a lockdown and the evil mischief makers are out in force this weekend coviditiots

Mob law shouldn’t rule. He may or may not murdered him. It’s for the law to sort out. Not the mob.

Bye Covid_19

This is a fire that have been burning in the hearts and minds of many, for a long time. And now it have reached an inferno level.

Thank you, London.

And also advocates to rejoin the EU, what

Do it peacefully and safely! justice will prevail but looting and rioting in America is so far removed from what caused all this!

Stop saying gather and protest! They are rioters and criminals taking advantage of a.sad situation everyone agrees was wrong.

WTF. Go home London...you’re drunk.

Virtue signalling before health

Well look who the Mayor is who is probably leading it.
