Greater Manchester Police mounted an operation to ensure people’s right to protest was upheld while ensuring the city could function as normal.
Chief Superintendent John O’Hare, who commanded the operation, said: “Around 60,000 people took part in a demonstration within our city in the spirit of their causes and I would like to thank them for their co-operation.
”The overwhelming majority of people exercised their democratic right to protest with dignity and good grace.
”In those rare instances where individuals sought to cause trouble, our officers acted in a calm and professional manner to ensure that the actions of the few did not compromise the safety, enjoyment and reputation of the majority.
”The fact that only four arrests were made was particularly pleasing.
“I would like to thank the organisers for taking responsibility and ensuring the demonstration was planned and delivered appropriately.”

A big protest rally was held at Lee Circle, where a statue of Robert E. Lee stands high above the city of New Orleans. The protest was a result of the city deciding to remove 4 Confederate statues throughout the city. This is an attempt to improve the image of New Orleans by eliminating symbols of racism, white supremacy. The atmosphere has been pretty tense in the city since it was announced that the statues were coming down. Three were already removed and this is the last one, as per the mayor.
The first one removed was Liberty Place Monument, followed by Jefferson Davis and then P.T. Beauregard.

A few days ago, there was a protest in front of city hall to draw attention to a cut in the Housing Subsidy Bonus paid out to the marginally housed. I caught this shot of a protestor putting up his signs and couldn't help but notice the juxtaposition between them and the message on the tree--something he no doubt appreciated too.
