2020 | George Floyd | peaceful ✌️ Protest ☮️ | Not a Riot

@CraigMelvin, in May of 2020, called the burning of cities and the looting of stores 'protest - not riots'. Even as a police precinct was burning Minneapolis behind MSNBC live reporter Ali in May of 2020, he described the scene as a 'protest not generally unruly'.

Therefore, in comparison to Jan. 6 2021 (civil unrest), let us rethink what was described as protest in May 2020 and defined it for what it was 'violent protest and extreme looting'.

Both involved death, destruction of government property (except May 2020 involved private property as well), and reactions to what persons believed wronged them - American Government in her current state of affairs.
