This was filmed at 13:11. Video of the Thousands walking to protest for BLM. 13:28 Thousands sit and chant, "Justice Now." 14:21 Walking through the crowds where people seemed to be moving towards. 14:44 People climbing the railings to exit Hyde Park. Thousands slowly but surely make their way onto the roads of London as they make their way to Parliament. 14:46 Many cars and buses beep in support of the protesters. A car plays a song with, 'Fuck The Police' lyrics. Traffic is at a stand still as protesters take up space on the roads. Protesters chant, "Silence is Violence" 15:14 Weaving amongst traffic. The protesters make their way from Hyde Park to Parliament to continue protesting. People in cars beep generally in support of the protesters. 15:15 Cars, coaches, buses, people in their homes and non-protesters create noise in support of the protest. Only one side of the traffic was able to travel. 16:15 Arriving at Downing Street where protesters chanted their disapproval of Boris lack of action and empathy towards the BLM considering all recent events. 16:22 Protesters chant, "Shame On You!" at Downing St. 16:35 Protesters make their way from Downing St to Trafalgar Sq. A driver is parked playing Tupacs', Changes (That's Just the Way It Is.). 16:39 & 16:42 Protesters make their way to Trafalgar Sq. Thousands sit in the square to continue protesting. 17:20 Something happens between protesters and police. Bottles are being thrown, some protesters run away, but majority try to film the action. You can hear people's screams and outrage. 17:27 Near the entrance of Downing St, a crowd of white people kneel in front of the police and chant, "Black Lives Matter!" A Black woman called for white people to stand in front of the police and use their privilege. 17:30 Protesters chant, "Boris Johnson's a racist!" to the tune of 7 Nation Army outside Downing St. 17:31 Protesters chant, "Who Do You Protect? Who Do You Serve?", and "Who's the Biggest Gang? The Police!" A police officer finds the statement funny and is confronted by protesters. I zoom in on his face whilst a Black woman talks to him and he rolls his eyes at her. Couple other officers around were shouted at about laughing too. 18:38 Police vans continue arriving and make their way towards other waiting officers. They stayed here for a while. There seemed to be some rush but they just stood around. This was nearly 6 hours after the protest started. Filmed by Seren Neil
