At least 23 Police Officers Injured During Black Lives Matter Protests in London - Police

Moscow, Jun 7 (Sputnik) At least 23 police officers were injured in past several days during ongoing protests against racism and police brutality in London sparked by George Floyd's murder in US' Minneapolis city in late May, Jo Edwards, a police superintendent, said.
Thousands of people marched through central London on Saturday, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and calls by the authorities to refrain from gathering to avoid a sharp increase in infections.
"We understand peoples' passion to come and let their voice be heard, they protested largely without incident. Our officers have been professional and very restrained but there was a smaller group intent on violence towards police officers. Twenty-three officers have received injuries, doing their job, policing protest over the last few days, and that is totally unacceptable," Edwards said, as quoted by a statement published on the London Metropolitan Police's website.
