The '''2020 Floyd Riots''' is the name given to the riots across America in 2020 and 2021 following the [[murder]] of George Floyd by white police officer [[Derek Chauvin]]. While many have blamed the riots solely on the Black Lives Matter movement (which, although mostly peaceful, did have a small fraction of supporters who participated in the riots), most of the rioters were simply criminals who exploited the movement as an excuse to riot. Many members of the far-right anti-government [[Boogaloo Boys|Boogaloo movement]] also took advantage of the riots to attack the police. Crimes committed during the riots included [[looting]], [[vandalism]], assault and in some extreme cases [[arson]] and [[murder]] (at least 25 deaths were linked to the riots). Tens of thousands of people were arrested for participating in the riots. | The '''2020 Floyd Riots''' is the name given to the riots across America in 2020 and 2021 following the [[murder]] of George Floyd by white police officer [[Derek Chauvin]].
