    The US doesn’t do anything close to the scale of the French.

      Were you asleep for the Floyd riots?

      How about Kenosha?

      The Los Angeles 1991 Rodney King riots where the city descended into such anarchy that 10,000 US Army soldiers had to be deployed?

      There’s is a very very extensive list of riots similar to the ones that are going on in France. But the fact that the Floyd riots in a lot of cities don’t stack up to you is interesting.

        The French so it over much less. George Floyd was a boiling over point of thousands of like incidents, and the vast majority were peaceful protests unless you received your information from right-wing news.

        LA in 92 counts, but that was thirty years ago.
