June 6, 2020 at 5:32 PM EDTNEW YORK — Several thousand demonstrators marched from Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza at noon Saturday, walking through the borough and eventually crossing over the Brooklyn Bridge to New York city hall in Manhattan. The event was just one of dozens of protests planned throughout the day in the city, with tens of thousands of people out in the streets.
PARIS — Thousands of protesters again defied police orders in Paris on Saturday, marching against police brutality in the aftermath of the George Floyd killing. Other marches took place in smaller cities across France. The march Saturday was held in the center of the French capital near the Eiffel Tower, whereas Tuesday’s march had been on the northern edge of the city, by the Justice Tribunal.
“You know if you’re like me, on Monday you saw something you hoped to never see in the United States of America: federal police moving on American people protesting peacefully in front of the people’s house,” Bowser said Saturday. “I want to grow up in a country where she is not scared to go to the grocery store, not scared to go to work,” she said. “Where she can grow up in an America where she can be a senator in the 51st state, Washington, D.C.”
