People Gather in Paris For Protests Over Death of George Floyd - Video

Demonstrations seem to be meat and drink to the French people; for example, the Yellow Vest rallies that engulfed the country in 2018 smoothly transformed into protests against pension reform.

Live from the French capital Paris, where people have gathered for an anti-racism demonstration to pay tribute to George Floyd.

As was reported earlier in the day, the French president's party, La Republique En Marche (LREM), will join an international tribute to George Floyd.

Last week, an unauthorised protest against racism and police brutality in Paris turned violent and resulted in clashes with law enforcement, with at least 18 people being detained.
