Rules Recovered From The Floyd Riots (sh.itjust.works)

Dear Americans,

I am not an American. Were the Floyd protests anywhere near as chaotic as they were portrayed in the press? I recall hearing that most protests were nonviolent, just slightly property-damaging. Thanks!

Sincerely, rambling_lunatic

Not even slightly, the overwhelming majority of protests were 100% peaceful, and the rare incidence of violence received wall-to-wall media coverage. Here in Austin, TX, I saw a crowd of people protesting like I had never seen before, thousands of people matched from an HBCU here to the state capitol without incident. That one and the hundreds, maybe thousands like it barely made the news.

The "liberals" this bullshit graphic is trying to demonize were the ones doing the marching.
