    All right but they’re not looting rich districts (because those places are armed to the teeth), so realistically anybody who loots is only damaging infrastructure local to the disadvantaged.

    If anything I think the majority of looting and arsons during protests are by counter-protestors, such as when Denis Molla staged a fire in 2020 before blaming it on BLM protestors. In fact, I doubt very many people even know that the George Floyd protests were statistically the most peaceful protests in US History, because of how easy it is to discredit those protests in the eyes of the public.
