PICS: Clashes Erupt at BLM London Protest, Mounted Police Unhorsed
Black Lives Matter protests in London have
descended into serious violence on Whitehall, with flares and missiles
thrown at police, mounted police charging, and at least one officer
unhorsed.
As the thousands-strong demonstration moved to Whitehall, adjacent to the gates to the Prime Minister’s official residence on Downing Street and home to the Cenotaph and many important government buildings, however, the situation became more tense, with activists hurling missiles at officers amid driving rain.

Listen to them celebrate as they knock an officer from his horse. The radical left, by making false comparisons between the US and the UK, has unleashed hell upon innocent British officers. Our officers get up each morning to keep us all safe, @pritipatel this cannot go on here. pic.twitter.com/OtQpwhI6UN— Darren Grimes (@darrengrimes_) June 6, 2020
The fallen officer’s condition is unknown, but pictures from the scene show them on the ground seemingly unconscious, with eyes glazed.
Riot police appeared to make some progress in driving back activists after this, but the situation remains tense, with the police horses unnerved by individuals who hurled flares towards them.
