Protestors bring London's streets to a standstill in #BlackLivesMatter rally to demonstrate at police shootings in Texas

Hundreds of marchers gathered on Oxford Street - the busiest shopping street in Britain -at 10am this morning in the wake of the deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling. Both men died when they were shot by police officers despite appearing to pose no threat. Today's protest drew hundreds of placard waving campaigners marching to show their solidarity with the dozens of black Americans who have died at the hands of police officers in recent years. The gathered group chanted 'Hands up, don't shoot' and 'No racist police' as they moved along Oxford Street to the U.S. Embassy on Grosvenor Square.
