There were 200 arrests in Houston overnight during the protests. I did see one bar with a broken window, though.
Austin is having an organized protest at the downtown police station at noon today, and I expect it will be just that - an organized protest. Signs, a couple possible speakers, some chants, stations with water bottles.
This stuff I'm seeing in other cities looks like a bunch of people out for the night, milling around, with flareups happening here and there involving projectiles and fire.
from what i've read, all the violent and lawless riots are in democrat controlled cities which democrats have controlled for decades. for example, the mayor of atlanta has been a democrat since 1873. the democrats have ruled minneapolis since 1945.
the 2015 riots in baltimore, another longtime democrat controlled city, lasted three weeks. five years later, the city has, by far, the most murders of any of the 50 largest cities in the usa.
democrats are dismal political leaders of big cities. why do voters in these cities keep voting them into power if they are so unhappy with their leadership?

They don`t riot much in retirement cities and states. I hope that helps.
