For example, there were protests with what looked to be a couple thousand people very near me recently. Public utilities like trash bins, road signs, street lights (it is not a busy intersection) were vandalized. No damage was done to any private business or property. Vehicles parked on the side of the road were completely intact. Contrast with America, where as soon as you get that many people "rioting", cars are flipped and set on fire, local businesses are broken into and looted, etc. It's completely different from American riots or even what the French yellow vest demonstrators do.
