There is some serious trimming to be done in this article to comply with WP:NOTNEWS. We shouldn't be listing every rally with 20 people. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 21:06, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Could we please have a comma before the last word in "Beginning in mid-March various"? 68.197.116.79 ( talk) 17:21, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

At a certain point the Wikipedia article states that people were dancing in blackface on the capital. Source of the claim is from BET, which shows a video of two white women dancing, one of them wearing a mask of Donald Trump the other of Barack Obama. Wearing a mask of a president who is African American is very different than wearing dark makeup in order to look black, as the common definition of "dressed in blackface" entails. I will now delete this line for being biased and misleading. If you disagree I would like to hear your thoughts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CustodianOfClara ( talk • contribs) 05:56, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
While the protests are generally over lockdowns, given the scale of the conflict and the number of issues not directly related to the lockdown being protested (trust in official numbers, protests over aspects of responses like level of preparedness and nursing home deaths) [1] the title should be changed to "2020 United States Protests to Covid-19 Response" or something to that effect.

Content fails to note the significant order of events involving Trump's "liberate Michigan" tweet and the subsequent storming of the Capitol several weeks later. An accurate chronology appears in the article Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot, which I've copied below for parity. Viriditas ( talk) 00:36, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
The first arrest was April 14th, 2020. News of the first reopen protester arrested, Monica Ussery, went national because North Carolina Raleigh police tweeted and posted on FB that "protesting is not an essential activity". Litigation in that case is still ongoing. There were false news reports, bodycam footage was withheld for two years, there was an investigation conducted through RPD internal affairs, a badged officer was accused of committing perjury, and a civil suit has dropped. I don't wish to create edits myself, but ple ease feel free to contact regarding these updates. at Artistmimifabian ( talk) 21:37, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
