Following the police shootings and the attacks o the police, Cleveland witnessed protest on "Black Lives Matter" and racism.
The United States (US) has been in a state of tension, following the alleged police shooting of Alton Sterling at Baton Rouge and Philando Castile at Minnesota.
There have been ambush attacks on the police force as well, at different parts of the country, fuelled by the anger against the police for the alleged killings. The latest was on Sunday, at Baton Rouge, where a shooter killed 3 police officers and injured 3 more.
However, it has not been all violence.
US has seen many rallies against the police killings and the violence, since the situation started going south.
Cleveland, Ohio saw one such rally on Sunday. With the Republican National Convention (RNC) coming up, the rally protested against the polarizing ideals of Donald Trump who has been known to make anti-immigrant and pro-White statements.
While people were seen protesting against the rising racism, and calling for that to be stopped, there were placards asking for the Trump campaign to be shut down as well.
Take a look at some of the moments from the rally.
