Not a riot, but I saw a very large Black Lives Matter protest near my home. Thousands of people, many angry (I think with justification) and that anger manifested itself in passionate speeches and chanting. The police watched from a distance, I think not wanting to create a confrontation. As far as I know it remained entirely peaceful, although they did block a major road for about an hour. It was actually quite racially diverse with lots of white people in support. Not surprisingly the most passionate chanting and speeches came from black protesters.
IceWizard: That link you posted is so sinister! The idea of people manufacturing apparent grass roots movements that are controlled in that way is beyond cynical. It kinda insults anyone who has sincerely gone out and protested about anything!
