Sides in the infobox

Use of sides in the infobox about a series of protests seems sensationalist and unhelpful. I will quote Rfwang4 at Talk:George Floyd protests/Archive 1#Use of sides in infobox:

I think it's rather unproductive to show two sides in the infobox, like for military conflicts and organized civil conflicts. One side lacks any actual party, commanders or tangible strength figure to put in the infobox...
Similarly to Talk:Ferguson_unrest/Archive_1#"Sides"_in_infobox, I think it would be appropriate to omit the "Parties to the civil conflict" section of the infobox altogether. This seems to be the convention followed by Ferguson unrest, 2011 England riots, 2015 Baltimore protests, 2002 Gujarat riots, and a lot of other articles that deal with unorganized protests and rioting rather than a civil conflict between two ascribable groups.

I submit that we should remove the sides from the infobox. Mysteryman blue 10:15, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Berkeley "protests"

How can these events be called protests? They were Riots, if anything. 24.148.123.53 (talk) 11:28, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Army?

I looked around a lot, and the marines and national guard were never involved? Personisinsterest (talk) 02:03, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
