From Sydney to Paris, World Outrage Grows at Floyd's Death

Associated Press

   Thousands of Paris protesters defied a virus-related police ban and
   rallied Tuesday against racial injustice and heavy-handed police
   tactics, as global outrage over the death of George Floyd in the United
   States kindled frustrations across borders and continents.

   Clapping, cheering and waving signs reading "Black Lives Matter" and
   "Police Everywhere, Justice Nowhere," the largely young, multiracial
   crowd streamed to the main Paris courthouse and rallied peacefully
   while police monitored closely from nearby corners.
   Chanting "I can't breathe," thousands marched peacefully through
   Australia's largest city, while thousands more demonstrated in the
   Dutch capital of The Hague and hundreds rallied in Tel Aviv.
   Expressions of anger erupted in multiple languages on social networks,
   with thousands of Swedes joining an online protest and others speaking
   out under the banner of #BlackOutTuesday.
