Protests in the United States, Britain, Australia, Germany, Spain, and France

Not only in the United States, but the protests have also now spread to other countries in the world. Protests have also taken place in Britain, Australia, France, Germany, and Spain. Thousands marched in the United States on Saturday for the 12th day in a row against racism and police brutality. The largest protest so far has been in the capital, Washington DC. Millions of people have taken part in it. Demonstrations have taken place in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. 

A memorial service has been held in North Carolina, the birthplace of George Floyd. When he was taken to the hospital, the doctors declared him dead. There have been massive anti-apartheid protests in other countries in protest of the killings. Thousands of people took part in the protests, ignoring the government's call not to hold large rallies due to the coronavirus. Protests have taken place in major cities in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Australia. The protests focused on the treatment of Indigenous Australians there. Demonstrations have also taken place in France, Germany, and Spain. Welcoming the outraged people, Mayor Muriel Bosar said the outraged crowd had sent a message to President Donald Trump. Muriel Bousser has demanded the withdrawal of all federal law enforcement officials and members of the National Guard from the city. Racism has been around in the United States for a long time. Crystal Bellinger, a 48-year-old protester, said he was optimistic about the movement at the time. I hope the message of solidarity and equality will come out of this. In New York, angry mobs cross the Brooklyn Bridge. In San Francisco protests stalled for some time at the Golden Gate Bridge. Protests have also taken place in Atlanta and Philadelphia. 

The BBC's Heliar Cheung in Washington says people from many ethnic groups have taken part in the protests. The song has been played. The mob chanted "George Floyd" and "Brenna Taylor". Sarina Lekrong, 20, and Gracie, 18, took part in the protest for the first time. In the United States, blacks are five times more likely to be imprisoned than blacks. This has been said in the national health data. There is inequality in the school system, housing, and other government facilities. In 2019, the Pew Research Center published a study. It found that more than eight out of 10 black adults said that slavery still affects black Americans in the United States.
