The death of George Floyd after being held down by a police officer in Minneapolis on Monday has led to widespread demonstrations across the United States and beyond.
From about 1pm, people began to gather outside the American Embassy in Ballsbridge as well as the American Ambassadors residence in the Phoenix Park.
