I saw a thread that said walking on the highway is not peaceful and people have said taking a knee during the national anthem is not peaceful. Before the riot started black people were dancing or laying down in the streets chanting. That didn't seem peaceful either. What should a peaceful protest look like?
Not looting, not setting fires, not damaging property, not assaulting people, not murdering people, and don't deliberately block traffic.
Yep, they should stay on the sidewalk. When they go into the roadways they do nothing but anger motorists and cause even more tension and hatred. They are not helping their cause by doing that.

We have a winner!
The problem with protesting is the only way it gets any coverage, or the bulk of the coverage, is if it turns violent.
All the things listed above ^ violate the rights of others...if they are done.
The protests that have been about marching and stopping to make speeches haven't really made the MSM. Sure, they'll show aerial shots but I haven't seen much in terms of the speeches.
"If I know that in this hotel room they have food every day, and I’m knocking on the door every day to eat and they open the door, let me see the party, let me see them throwing salami all over; I mean, just throwing food around [and] they're telling me there’s no food. Every day, I'm standing outside trying to sing my way in: "We are hungry, please let us in. We are hungry, please let us in." After about a week that song is gonna change to, "We hungry, we need some food.†After two, three weeks, it’s like, "Give me the food or I’m breaking down the door." After a year you’re just like, "I’m picking the lock, coming through the door blasting!" It’s like, you hungry, you reached your level. We asked ten years ago. We was asking with the [Black] Panthers. We was asking with the Civil Rights Movement. We was asking. Those people that asked are dead and in jail. So now what do you think we’re gonna do? Ask?"

Wrong. The NFL players that protested had plenty of coverage and it wasn't violent.

What does a peaceful protest look like to you
Like the people in Lafayette Park before Trump and his cohorts chose to disturb that peace with tear gas and rubber bullets for NO other reason than facilitating an asinine Dog & Pony show.

(patiently) There was no tear gas and no rubber bullets.
Another liberal lie that normal people are going to have to spend the next year or two smacking down again and again.
It's an easy way to tell whether someone is upset over Floyd's death, or is simply pushing a further agenda at all costs such as "getting Trump". The pushers have had this explained to them, and know they are pushing a lie, and yet they keep doing it.
