Second day of major demonstrations

Marching to Devonshire Green

Police join the march

March in full flow

On the second day of major protests in the city, there seemed to be a significant difference from the first - the police, at times, appeared to be outnumbered, and although they succeeded at splintering and fragmenting the entire demonstration into small sections that would then dwindle, there was still an impressive turnout, particularly by the end on Devonshire Green. I witnessed one arrest, but am unsure as to how many took place in total. On the way to Devonshire Green, on West Street, it appeared as though police attempted several lines to stop the march, but put it back several times, and even had an attempted line broken by Rhythms of Resistance, who were at the front of the march.
