Original Note:
Peaceful protesters were, in numerous cities, accompanied by riots, shootings, break-ins, and arson – which were the direct cause of 19 confirmed deaths. The heavy-handed response from law enforcement stems from this, not the fact that there were peaceful protesters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence_and_controversies_during_the_George_Floyd_protests https://www.forbes.com/sites/jemimamcevoy/2020/06/08/14-days-of-protests-19-dead/ www.nytimes.com/2020/08/07/us/defund-police-seattle-protests.html
