One of the organisers of the Black Live Matters protest says there was no unrest or riot during the demonstration at the Queens Park Savannah.

Muhammed Muwakil says it was a peaceful demonstration in support of the movement against the death of George Floyd in police custody in the United States.

He says there was one incident in which one of the demonstrators snatched the cap of a police officer that was recording the demonstrators without their consent.

Mr. Muwakil is condemning the man now identified as Ian Smart, the son of former Attorney General Anthony Smart.

Mr. Smart has apologised for his actions saying he is bipolar.

On the TV6 news yesterday, Mr. Muwakil said Mr. Smart was selfish in his behaviour.

But he also had an issue with the media only focusing on that very small part of the demonstration.

Mr. Muwakil insisted the protesters did not wish to be video taped because they do not trust the police.

Yesterday Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith told a media conference there are some who joined the protest with ulterior motives.

He said there are people who just wanted to star at a time when all eyes are focused on the demonstration.

Commissioner Griffith said they were in a public space and there was no need for anyone, including the police to seek permission to record

He also said the police will have a talk with Ian Smart.
