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

Some were chill some were not.

My personal experience: More cops at city center cause there were protesters. And asshole teenagers saying it was his fault in game lobbys.

Edit: They were probably asshole adults, but they just sound like idiot kids to me.
