Protesters gathered peacefully in Centenary Square in Birmingham, England, on Thursday afternoon, June 4, as demonstrations around the world called for justice in the police-involved death of black Minneapolis man George Floyd.

This video shows what the media reported as thousands of protesters taking a knee in solidarity with victims of police brutality.

Protesters marched through London on Wednesday, clashing with police outside 10 Downing Street.

Floyd, 46, died on May 25 when a policeman knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes as three other policemen looked on.
