As protests and riots have swept across the United States sparked by the death of George Floyd — the 46-year-old African-American man who died after a white police officer kneeled on his neck for over eight minutes during an arrest — other Western countries have seen similar demonstrations break out.
In one chaotic moment caught on video Sunday, London police found themselves swarmed by a group of Black Lives Matter protesters, some of whom began to hurl objects at the officers. In response, the police turned and ran away en masse from the protesters. After the eruption of violence, one of the men involved openly admitted to taking part in the violence against authorities.
