Yesterdays demo was a very emotional affair. We wanted to show our condolences and solidarity to #JusticeForChrisKaba. Thank you to everyone who showed up, we really appreciated seeing so many friendly faces. Thank you to the very kind stranger for bringing the sunflowers

@krskipp @JB007700007 @BlmCoventry Good evening Kevin. Well, I am not a trained Metropolitan Police Officer. I am pretty sure they are trained to deal with these kinds of situations better than you or I. I am sure we could talk about this for hours, so if you would like, you can send us a dm.
