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

I went to one in California. They kettled us in (basically surrounded us) with armed riot police and then fired tear gas shells at us from mortars.
