Police fired tear gas to disperse anti-racism protesters in Paris on Tuesday during a demonstration against the killing of Black Frenchman Adama Traore, who died in a 2016 police operation. Earlier on Tuesday, Paris police banned the gathering in memory of Traore, a 24-year old Black Frenchman, which some have likened to the death of George Floyd, who died in police custody in the United Stayes after an officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes.

The Paris police department said in a statement that there were health dangers from the large gatherings due to the coronavirus pandemic. The demonstration had drawn attention on social media in France from those supporting the "Black Lives Matter" movement and backing similar protests in the United States.

Protests have broken out and intensified across the United States after the killing of Floyd, who died on Memorial Day in Minneapolis, Minn.
Floyd's killing has also sparked protests from Amsterdam to Nairobi, exposing deeper grievances among demonstrators over strained race relations in their own countries.
