World outrage grows at Floyd's death; EU 'shocked, appalled'
BRUSSELS (AP) From Sydney to Paris, world outrage at George Floyds death in the U.S. was growing Tuesday as the European Unions top diplomat said the bloc was shocked and appalled by it and thousands marched in Australias largest city.
Chanting Black Lives Matter and I cant breathe, about 3,000 protesters held an impassioned but peaceful march through central Sydney on Tuesday demanding fundamental change in race relations.
In France, protests were planned for the evening in Paris and across the country after calls from the family of a French black man who died shortly after he was arrested by police in 2016. A protest was also planned in The Hague, Netherlands.
Floyd died last week after he was pinned to the pavement by a white police officer in Minneapolis who put his knee on the handcuffed black mans neck until he stopped breathing. His death set off protests that spread across America.
