Protesters at the Black Lives Matter protest on Monday

Police officers responded to a protest opposite the US Embassy at the Queen’s Park Savannah on Monday, where scores of protesters came out to stand in solidarity with the now global Black Lives Matter Movement.

The protests, which is a response to police brutality in the US, have spread rapidly across the world in the past two weeks following the daylight killing of George Floyd, a black man in police custody in Minnesota.

During the demonstration, US Ambassador to T&T, Joseph Mondello, made and appearance and engaged in dialogue with some of the protesters.
