Report finds that 93% of Black Lives Matter protests in the US were peaceful
A report produced by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) found that of the 7,750 protests linked to the Black Lives Matter movement that took place in the US between May 26 through August 22, only 220 were not peaceful. The report further states that for those considered "violent," the upheaval was “largely confined to specific blocks, rather than dispersed throughout the city."
