"Approximately 94% of all pro-BLM demonstrations have been peaceful, with 6% involving reports of violence, clashes with police, vandalism, looting, or other destructive activity. In the remaining 6%, it is not clear who instigated the violent or destructive activity. While some cases of violence or looting have been provoked by demonstrators, other events have escalated as a result of aggressive government action, intervention from right-wing groups or individual assailants, and car-ramming attacks. In contrast, demonstrations involving right-wing militias or militant social movements have turned violent or destructive over twice as often, or nearly 14% of the time.
"Authorities are three times more likely to intervene in pro-BLM demonstrations than they are in other demonstrations. At least 38 distinct, named far-right groups have engaged directly with pro-BLM demonstrators.
Approximately 26% of these demonstrations have turned violent or destructive."
