The claim that Black Lives Matter protesters caused $2 billion in damages and faced no consequences is partly true. While it is true that the 2020 protests over George Floyd's death caused an estimated $2 billion in damages, the claim that protesters faced no consequences is false. News reports indicate that over 10,000 protesters were arrested, mostly for low-level offenses like violating curfews and obstructing roadways, though some more serious charges like burglary and looting were also filed.[1]
