As many across the nation peacefully protest the death of George Floyd with demonstrations against racism and police violence toward black people, some of the marches have devolved into looting, fires, and vandalism.

Across Orange County, California, protests that began last weekend have remained relatively peaceful, although protesters in Santa Ana did throw fireworks at police and loot several stores, police reported. In Huntington Beach, tensions rose, purportedly incited by counter-protesters.
