In London, hundreds defied rules against large gatherings Sunday to rally at Trafalgar Square and mass outside the new U.S. Embassy on the south bank of the River Thames, where they chanted “no justice, no peace” in solidarity with U.S. movement against racial bias in the criminal justice system.
Demonstrators there and in Berlin waved signs reading “I can't breathe” — some of the last words that the dying Floyd, captured by an onlooker’s video, gasped out in Minneapolis as a police officer pressed his knee down on Floyd’s neck for more than eight minutes.
“LONDON: lockdown has not been lifted,” Mayor Sadiq Khan tweeted on Sunday morning. “The virus is still out there.”
Britain’s Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab on Sunday called the video of Floyd’s death “very distressing,” but declined to criticize President Trump for his tweets about the violent protests that have erupted in Minneapolis and cities across the United States.
In Berlin, demonstrators gathered Sunday for a second day to protest Floyd’s killing. Hundreds marched a mile through the city before gathering at Hermannplatz, a square in one of the German capital’s most diverse neighborhoods.
A total of around 1,500 people took part, according to police reports cited by German media. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” read one sign. “Being black is not a crime,” read another.
Police said around 2,200 people gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in Berlin on Saturday in a demonstration that ended peacefully.
In Canada, several thousand people rallied in Toronto on Saturday to denounce racism and demand answers in the death of Regis Korchinski-Paquet, 29, who fell from a balcony apartment while police were in her home Wednesday.

Barr about to unmask all of Antifa’s communications with their media and political allies

Puleez, WaPo, this is NOT about an event in Minnesota as bad as it was. This crap was PLANNED and you, WAPO, are egging it on.
Not to be a Debbie Downer but, I’ll believe that when I see it.
Debbie is always hanging around
LOL. We’ll see if Barr does anything.
The worldwide Left acting in unison. None of this is organic. It’s all coordinated. And the message is ‘Trump is fomenting racial hatred and violence’.
Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
‘Til there are no rich no more?
I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you.
Ten Years After. 50 years AHEAD.
My heart is black and my lips are cold. Cities aflame with rock and roll.
Trump and his team are about to expose the world criminal organization and this is just one more act of desperation.
Good’un from BOC ca. 1974
