The George Floyd protests turned into riots. But it now has turned into civil war by terrorists. There is disagreement as to who these terrorists are, with Trump blaming Antifa and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz blaming white supremacists, but there is no doubt that the situation has gotten out of control.

"This is absolutely no longer about George Floyd or addressing inequities anymore. This is an organized attack designed to destabilize civil society."
--Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
I am not on top of all the news but these are the fronts on this war:
Minneapolis: A police station was burned to the ground, and firefighters were unable to put out fires because they were being shot at. The National Guard with 500 troops was called out, and another 1000 are going in.
Atlanta: Protests turned violent with a police car burned, and the offices of CNN broken into. A state of emergency was declared allowing up to 500 National Guard troops to be called.
Portland: Terrorists ("peaceful protesters") broke into the police headquarters, looted it and started a fire inside, but apparently caused only relatively minor damage.
Oakland: Two federal police (with the Federal Protective Service, part of DHS, that protects federal buildings) were shot and one of them died. Also, looting and fires.
Brooklyn: A mob set a police van on fire and tried to storm two police stations, but the police fought back, and are being criticized for excessive use of force.
There are violent protests in lots of other cities - but these are the only ones I have heard so far where there is actual civil war or terrorism going on.
