The ACLED characterized Black Lives Matter as "an overwhelmingly
peaceful movement", finding that more than 93% of protests involved no
incidents of violence nor destructive activity.[24][25] Several other
studies and analyses also found that the large majority of protests
have been peaceful.[26][27][28][29] In protests that were violent,
violence was variously instigated by protesters, counter-protesters,
or police, and police sometimes escalated violence.[26][27][30] A
September 2020 article in Axios reported that the vandalism and
looting that did occur would result in at least $1 billion to $2
billion of paid insurance claims. The 2020 unrest cost the insurance
industry far more than any prior incidents of social unrest.[57]
