large-Scale protests, the last day before in Western Europe, began to spread. And both North and South. Neighboring Australia live watched as they met journalists in Britain — two of the crew almost became victims of an angry mob.
Demonstration against racism was conceived as a peaceful protest that has gathered 15 thousand people, but among the demonstrators there were those who decided to move from words to deeds. In the police flew bottles. A scuffle ensued and one police officer was hit in the face.
From the raging crowd and got to the journalists. One of the operators got a bottle on the head. The correspondent of Australian television tried to go live from the event, but conversation with the Studio did not work — had to flee from his assailants of the protesters. From bullies suffered another film crew from Australia and again live.
By evening, most demonstrators had gone home, but radicals would not calm down, they had split into groups. Young people in masks attacked a police patrol. Being in the minority, the police were forced to retreat.
the Demonstrators once again approached the gates of the residence of the Prime Minister. They threw over the fence of the bottle. In the center of the city had to call a specially trained police units, designed to quell the unrest. Their appearance had radically changed the balance of power.
Around midnight, the order in the government quarter in the centre of London was restored. The remaining of the participants of the protest action the police took in a dense ring and gradually released one by one to avoid further collisions.
London police did not interfere with peaceful demonstrations, despite the fact that because of coronavirus in the country it is forbidden to gather in groups of more than six people. Scotland Yard hoped that this will help to avoid PRavocacy.
In the British press is now criticizing the President of the United States Donald trump for his response to the protests after the death of George Floyd. Lawyer Donald trump Rudolph Giuliani commented as follows:
— the point is that the situation got out of control because the mayor of Minneapolis, Democrat radical left-wing, was not able to protect the people of his city.
In the UK have faced a situation when protests turn into vandalism. It happened in 2011 after police in London shot dead a black gangster. To pacify the rioters across England was not able for several days. It was a serious lesson for the police and politicians.
