Protests: Downtown Washington and Death Days

protests: Large protests also took place across the U.S. and overseas, including in London, Paris, Berlin and Sydney, collectively producing perhaps the largest one-day mobilization since Floyd's death 12 days ago at the hands of police in Minneapolis, according to CTV. The dozens of demonstrations capped a week of nearly constant protests that swelled beyond anything else the nation has seen in at least a generation. Military vehicles and officers in fatigues closed off much of downtown Washington to traffic ahead of the planned march, which authorities estimated would attract up to 200,000 people. After frequent episodes of violence in the early stages following Floyd's death, the crowds in the U.S. shifted to a calmer tenor in recent days. Both protests unfolded peacefully. In Philadelphia and Chicago, marchers chanted, carried signs and occasionally knelt silently. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
