There you go conflating the two. How many of the nation wide protests have turned into riots in the last seven to ten days? How many of the protests occurring around the globe for the same time period have turned into riots? Don't think for a minute I'm denying the riots. There are always those who are opportunists seeking to lash out, cause destruction or simply see a chance to get something for free but these people are not protesters.
