Black Lives Matter, Sydney Protest
Protesters have taken to the streets in Sydney aiming to stop all black deaths in custody, and in solidarity with George Floyd, who was killed recently while in police custody in the US. At the last minute Black Lives Matter protesters in NSW had a Supreme Court ruling overturned, and the rally was declared legal.
