Are you actually here or are you doing your own research based on Twitter? I agree with your point people should do their own research, but in the age of social media manipulation, I'm not sure social media will get you a clear picture.

If you are here, I recommend you go see them yourself. Wear not blue and not all black, and stay on the outskirts.

In my experience its very safe as an outsider, and I have seen no looting, which is nothing like American protests, where I am from.

Social media can be manipulated, but without it, would not see videos like this one:

Showing students in their own lecture halls and classrooms being screamed at and bullied by black clad "protestors" (these days behaving more like cultural revolution Maoists).
