Not that peaceful, even from my side of ocean (Europe) I see stores being looted (e.g. Apple store https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-SqQBuDbRE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-SqQBuDbRE, Louis Vuitton https://streamable.com/mniwap https://streamable.com/mniwap )
It is possible that there are groups that just mix with protesters to loot stuff, but it doesn't look good for the peaceful stuff.
As for centuries of injustice, is it still happening? And why are e.g. Asians not protesting?
> When he says "when the looting starts, then the shooting starts" he's encouraging a general atmosphere of unrest, fear, and vigilante justice against all protestors, not just violent ones.
For me it is just a warning, either you protest peacefully or something bad will happen.
Your right to protest is limited by right of other people to go on with their life peacefully - that is democracy 101 - your liberty is limited by other peoples liberty. You can protest, but you can't break windows.
