To the other folks replying: I looked up the protests on ddg images, and about half of the protesters in those photos were wearing masks.

You can't simply search for "BLM Protest". The 2020 protests are not the first BLM protests, these are just the first BLM protests that are getting global attention.

On the first row of images that appear for me, when following the sourced article, they are from the years:

2015, 2016, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2020 (everyone in this picture has masks)

Yeah, I noticed and fixed the search.

The plural of anecdote is not data. There were obviously a mix of behaviors, and which was predominant and where is a crucial factor to control in any analysis.
