I think the situation is largely peaceful now.
It’s definitely very unfortunate that innocent people died and lost their businesses and property. No one wants to see that.
That’s the whole essence of peaceful protests and why those in power should heed such protests. They shouldn’t wait until said protests are hijacked by undesirable elements before deciding to “listen”. Guys like Kapernick had been protesting for years before now but they were shutdown completely which also should never have happened.
