We will evaluate external factors, including instances of violence, restrictions on peaceful assembly and other markers of civil unrest. I don't have a dog in this fight, but I'm confused by this line. Whose restrictions on whose peaceful assembly?, and why is it worded so that restrictions on peaceful assembly is included in the list of "markers of civil unrest"? If I recall correctly restrictions on assembly started in response to disease outbreak, and later were sometimes applied to some left wing and some right wing protests. What if it's an unjust restriction on a righteous protest, or an unsafe lack of restriction on a "riot"? Is either situation a marker of civil unrest? Sorry my literal mind is having trouble parsing this.
