Black Lives Matter protesters look on as United States ambassador to Jamaica, Donald Tapia, raps the drum of musician Bongo Herman on the outskirts of the embassy compound on Old Hope Road on Saturday. Scores of protesters gathered on Old Hope Road to protest excessive force by the police and racial injustice, sparked by the killing of American George Floyd. The demonstrations have gathered momentum locally with the denunciation of the slaying of a disabled woman in August Town, as well as the controversial death of Noel Chambers, an inmate who spent 40 years in prison without trial.
