Read Replies (1) | Respond to "Most murders are black-on-black"ucr.fbi.gov Polls in summer 2020 estimated that between 15 million and 26 million people had participated at some point in the demonstrations in the United States, making the protests the largest in U.S. history . [23] [24] [25] While the majority of protests have been peaceful, [26] demonstrations in some cities escalated into riots, looting , [27] and street skirmishes with police and counter-protesters. Some police responded to protests with instances of notable violence , including against reporters. [28] [29] [30] At least 200 cities in the U.S. had imposed curfews by early June 2020, while more than 30 states and Washington, D.C. activated over 96,000 National Guard , State Guard , 82nd Airborne , and 3rd Infantry Regiment service members. [31] [32] [33] [34] The deployment, when combined with preexisting deployments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and other natural disasters, constituted the largest military operation other than war in U.S. history. [35] By the end of June, at least 14,000 people had been arrested [3] [36] [37] and, by November 2020, 25 people had died in relation to the unrest. It was later estimated that between May 26 and August 22, 93% of individual protests were "peaceful and nondestructive" [38] and The Washington Post estimated that by the end of June, 96.3% of 7,305 demonstrations involved no injuries and no property damage. [39] Nevertheless, arson, vandalism, and looting between May 26 and June 8 were tabulated to have caused $1–2 billion in insured damages nationally—the highest recorded damage from civil disorder in U.S. history, surpassing the record set during the 1992 Los Angeles riots .
