From a close source:

8 people outside #Cardiff Bay police station at a social distance w/ masks. Police officers are stationed in two's outside the police station. It appears that they are holding tasers.

Demonstration is ongoing and yet to reach the station.
There's loads and loads of people. There are people there with Christopher Kapessa banners.

There are easily a couple of hundred people and they keep coming. A close family member is at the scene. [2]
People are chanting "No justice, no peace!" as they march westbound James Street towards #CardiffBay police station

They are also chanting "Say his name!"

There is also a chant of #Mohamud in three syllabalic chants

There are police collecting information and filming people.

Protesting is legal in England and Wales, the right to protest is protected under the European Convention of Human Rights. Why are people being filmed for exercising their right to peacefully protest @swpolice? [16]
What happens to this footage, can the protestors request it from @swpolice under GDPR as it is personally identifiable information? [17]
@netpol @IRR_News @inquest @BLMCardiff @BLMCymru @saeednebrahim @NMPEastLondon @UFFCampaign @ukblm @CaribbeanWales peaceful protestors are being filmed w/o their consent on James Street- do u know what happens to this @SWPCardiff footage or why they are collecting it? [18]
Here is a pic of the police officer from @swpolice filming the peaceful protestors who are exercising their right to peaceful protest in line with the Human Rights Act.

“Brutality on his body..... this is not serve and protect” says one protester. Police say that early findings after examining CCTV and body worn video indicate "no misconduct issues and no excessive force."

Check out this thread on Mahmood Mattan, a Welsh Somali man who was wrongly convicted to death for the murder of Lily Volpert in 1952. He didn't do it- and was his charge was quashed years after his death in the 1990s [39] https://twitter.com/BLMCardiff/status/1269281865309061121
This film by @GavinPorter_ featuring @ali_zay89 and others touches on community cohesion and police-community relations around the 1919 race riots 101 years ago. A young man called Mohamed Abdullah died during the 1919 race riots. [40]
We have shared these links between questions of police and community relations between BAME communities in Cardiff and the police in South Wales run deep, and are intergenerational [41]
Finally, this link on the #CardiffThree is also part of the legacy that predates the relationship between BAME communities and the police in #Cardiff, particularly Butetown. It runs deep. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/Lynette_White_Cardiff_Murder [42]
A firework has been thrown at the police at Cardiff Bay.

The Hassan family agreed to this demonstration on the condition it was a peaceful demonstration.

This does NOT represent the wishes of the Hassan family.

We urge all to disperse in fear of safety and to leave in groups for safety, minimum of 2 per group. This is not a drill, we r v concerned for safety of EVERYONE at the demo and everyone in G-town, B-town, Docks and the Bay. [44]
