That study is literally retarded.
It simultaneously counts any protest as a peaceful protest, no matter the size. Five people in a park in a small town? Peaceful protest.
It then seems to greatly under count things that by ACLEDs own defintions should be riots, but aren't counted. Their definition is " Riots are a violent demonstration, often involving a spontaneous action by unorganized, unaffiliated members of society."
It also doesn't count certain violent BLM related events. The CHAZ/CHOP gets passed over with a short note of violent crime, but gets praise for decreasing violent unrest during that period.
Then they make the ultimate retard move of using mainstream news like CNN as their sources.
