Talking about the first few nights of riots in the major cities, New York, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis getting the most coverage.
If you're talking about a riot, then there's not going to be many peaceful people at all, regardless of color. But those first few nights, there were also a ton of peaceful protests with diverse crowds.

I specifically said riots. In fact, more than once I have made the very important distinction between the protests and riots.

Those first few days, yes, there were plenty of peaceful protests, but by nightfall, there was damn little.

I haven't been watching much news of it the last few days, but from what I have read, there is becoming more protest and less destruction. I hope that is true. It's a longer road, but it'll get us there, whereas destruction and chaos will not.
