Demonstrators hold placards during a march in central Auckland, New Zealand, Monday, June 1. 2020, to protest the death of United States' George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody in Minneapolis on May 25. Floyd, who after a white police officer who is now charged with murder, Derek Chauvin, pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for several minutes even after he stopped moving and pleading for air.
The protesters in Auckland marched to the U.S. Consulate, where they kneeled. They held banners with slogans like “I can’t breathe” and “The real virus is racism.” Hundreds more joined the peaceful protests and vigils elsewhere in New Zealand, where Monday was a public holiday.
In Brazil, hundreds of people protested crimes committed by the police against black people in Rio de Janeiro’s working-class neighborhoods, known as favelas. Police used tear gas to disperse them, with some demonstrators saying “I can’t breathe,” repeating Floyd’s own words. In authoritarian nations, the unrest became a chance to undermine U.S. criticism of their own situations. Iranian state television repeatedly aired images of the U.S. unrest. Russia said the United States had systemic human rights problems.

Didn’t horse face shut down a country due to a cough? I guess the socialist narrative has changed?

Maybe they would have taken the message earlier if they knew how America was bombing millions of innocent brown people for oil....
Thank you New Zealand 🇳🇿 We so appreciate your solidarity to our cause NewZealand
Kno He’s such an international embarrassment.
Awesome
So many Bots so little time KeyboardWarriors MondayMotivaton
Even foreigners care about us more than our own. That speaks volumes
They never marched for the uighur/muslim abused in China though! This is just globalists with their agenda!
Thank you New Zealand, your support is heartwarming, and we are grateful.
If everyone were as outraged at seeing a black man muredered on TV as they are by property damage there would be no riots! Stop making excuses for cops who kill people of color. JusticeForGeorgeFloyd JusticeforAhmaudArbery
syzygy10 We are going to wind up under international boycott like SouthAfrica. Just waiting for Aotearoa to declare their intention and to stop selling passports to rich Americans. NewZealand WestCoastBestCoast HelpUsWhanau TimeforaHui
New Zealand shooting wasn’t real neither is this
Great all over the world people are feeling discriminated against, its not only African Americans.Sad -:))
Even from far away, people can see the U.S. is off the rails.
Wish the Western world showed this amount of solidarity for the suffering and injustice that happens constantly in third world countries.
No social distancing anymore in New Zealand. New law post Floyd killling.
yeah. The kiwi's are so 'woke' these days.
American spring funded by Soros and its global media
Hold on, I thought racism was America's original sin. How can there be racism without Americans?
JennHaQuinn Protests in London and Manchester, England as well
It's China's fault. China could have and should have stopped the violence in HongKong. Now, it has spread to our nation. This attack is worst than Pearl harbor or 9/11. China must pay for the damages.
Congratulations 10 days in advance. The number of virus infections will continue to return to 40,000 daily. The protesters infect themselves and spread it to parents, friends, lovers and brothers and all close partners. The same is true of nuclear bombs.
Thanks to those Countries standing with US !
Now New Zealand has taken away law abiding citizens guns the anarchist can take over.
RealCandaceO realDonaldTrump
Were they looting?
Thank you NewZealand
GOOD LUCK WITH SOCIAL DISTANCING, IF COVID COME BACK BLOOD OF THE DEATHS ON YOUR HAND
Too bad the U.S. doesn't have an intelligent, empathetic, compassionate, strong, moral Leader right now. Instead, we have an ignorant, immoral Coward who pretends to be a tough guy but is too scared to face Reporters questions so he Tweets!
Watch with alarm? I dont think so. It's not like it's the first time.
Anyone who thinks this is some political stunt needs to get off the internet.
And somewhere in Russia, Vladimir Putin is laughing his ass off.
Communist Party agitation Possibility Chinese Deportation Fake News Business Suspension
Yes yes yes
Floyd who? I see a bunch of violent murders, thieves and arsonist's destroying their towns, cities and states.
Clearly, business owners need to be law abiding gun owners.

uhm there is an deadly virus?
Polynesian Māori are the nicest people in the world and are treated like shit. I see a lot of Natives in that picture. Racists think they need to see black people in this picture.
Thieves, thugs, & Marxists intent on creating social mayhem. None if it is related to George Floyd, that's just an excuse.
I don’t understand why and how protests in foreign countries can have ANY effects on what’s happening in the US, except fuel more protests amid a pandemic and more likelihood of violence
Thank you George, you ended the pandemic and lockdown hoax lol
Social media is the voice of people and potus wants to silence it.
Has there been even one single politician that has put pen to paper to to write a law or policies against any police brutality?
If you support rioting, looting and burning places down.... You are the problem!
Idiots.
A bunch of attention seekers. NZ is a good country but its too much, its going to change a thing in US
America is an embarrassment to the planet.
We have watched with joy that the oppressed are no longer weak, and we expect justice.
Racists Are Monsters Anonymous GeorgeFloyd GeorgeFloydProtests BlackLivesMatter
This is a Very Well Organized world wide terrorism act
Angels and demons are always inside each person... But it is not determined by your skin and clothes👌
Hell even foreign countries know we should be better than what the tRump Admin is trying to make us into.
Police brutality must stop
Thank you, New Zealand.
Where's the MAGA?! The REAL movement and uprising has begun. No Kool-Aid sippers here. A failed realDonaldTrump administration. RacistInChief BeBest hypocrisy Shame on FLOTUS
The ENTIRE FREE WORLD despises drumpf and his ill-begotten offspring!
This is centrally coordinated. We already know that. Now we just need to figure out who and why. It’s really interesting how this all happens as soon as we started playing hardball with China, but that’s too obvious for the AP to look into.
Alarm? Protesters are just bringing to light with greater insistence the long-standing injustices of the black community, which was mocked or ignored when they peacefully tried to TakeAKnee .
People around the world 🌎 know that Trump is the son of the Devil.
Lol NZ, go have a sleep no one ever knows where you are....
This is a kind of protest without carrying weapons for blacks rights. The US government made a big mistake, they don't know that the power of the nation is the power of God.
Sheep
CCP funding at its best!!
More white people die in police custody than blacks. This isn't organic. They may have had another young man killed in Georgia a couple of months ago, trying to start riots.
mind your own business
Next Somalia
unfollowtrump realDonaldTrump
Civil unrest being stoked by detain folks who want a revolution and to burn everything down and rebuild a new system....yup that’s what most of us who want change for George Floyd but not now of that shit
We stand together against fascism and racism ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Do they get gas and rubber bullets too?
Why does NZ care? Methinks they don't.
Love NZ
What a bs! Communists...
This brutality have to stop and is not only the blacks both the other nations with different looks
What happens if the police quit? Ask SOHO.....
I don’t believe for one minute that these people give a shit about a Murder of a Blackman who they didn’t even know existed.. these people have a political agenda
Every other country is working together to fight the pandemic and we are tearing ourselves apart. That’s just bad leadership out of the roach infested WhiteHouse
