Thousands of people take to the streets on June 07, 2020 in Copenhagen, Denmark to show solidarity with global Black Lives Matter protests sparked by the death of African-American George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer. More than 15.000 gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in Østerbro at around 14:00 and then marched to the Christiansborg Palace -the Danish Parliament-, chanting “No justice, no peace. Prosecute the police.”, voicing their anger against racism and police brutality. The protesters carried signs saying “Black Lives Matter” in reference to the US movement against police violence and racism against African-Americans.
