Large demonstration on the death of George Floyd in Washington DC despite the threat of corona virus

A large protest is expected in the US capital, Washington, D.C., against racism and police brutality.

The death of a black George Floyd police officer in Minneapolis on May 25 has sparked outrage across the United States, with large-scale protests in several cities. Police and National Guards were called.

"This is probably one of the largest demonstrations in our city," said the Washington, D.C., police chief.

Such protests are taking place not only in the United States but also in many other countries of the world.

A large crowd was present in Parliament Square in central London in the UK, although crowds have been prevented from gathering in London due to the spread of the corona virus.
