Protesters Worldwide Voice Support for US Demonstrators

VOA News

   The shocking on-camera death of African American George Floyd is
   drawing attention around the globe.

   Anti-U.S. protests deploring the man's death erupted in Western
   capitals on Sunday and newspaper headlines heaped scorn on American
   police over the incident last week in Minneapolis.

   Floyd, a black man, died after white police officer Derek Chauvin
   pressed a knee on the back of his neck for more than eight minutes,
   even as Floyd repeatedly said he could not breathe. The incident was
   captured on video.

   Thousands of protesters gathered in central London to voice support for
   American demonstrators who have marched in dozens of U.S. cities over
   the last five days to condemn the police conduct. Some of the worst
   U.S. violence in decades has erupted, with police cars and government
   buildings set afire, stores ransacked and looted, and public monuments
   defaced.

   The British protesters chanted, "No justice! No peace!" and waved
   placards with the words, "How many more?"
