Reader's letter - May the peaceful protests continue

It doesn't matter if the people in the photograph you were looking at are white only. It was a demonstration that passed off without incident.

The majority of normal people in Britain and across the world are still appalled at the treatment of George Floyd and other deaths of African-Americans by police brutality. May the peaceful protests continue.

S Smith, Sheffield S1
