> Most of them had banners or whole pages for the BLM movement which made no sense to anyone outside of the US

pretty sure they made sense to quite a few people outside the US:

Comparing europe with the US when it comes to the police killings is ridicolous. Sure there was attempts to bring it to europe but that is besides the point. There are a lot of countries in the world, many without any issues in which the BLM protested against. Why should we get pushed american politics for? What is the point?

The UK as an example had something like 6 people killed that year when protests arrived. Most of which wasn't black if I remember correctly. Do you really think it's comparable to the issues that exists in the US?

My critique is still valid tho, doesn't ukrainian lives matter? Why are there no banners for them?
