There is no coverage of the occupy protests here
I personally added Raz Simone to prominent protesters since he was the "leader" of CHAZ, but it seems this page is seriously lacking if it fails to mention the occupy/autonomous zone protests in Seattle, Washington D.C., or NYC. I Recommend we add a section similar to the vandalism section that describes the most prominent occupy protests and links to the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone page.Bgrus22 (talk) 22:42, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Realized I was misreading the page but it still is strange there is no mention of the Black House Autonomous Zone. I still believe we can provide a brief summary of the occupy movement that was short-lived and went on for about 2 days.Bgrus22 (talk) 17:32, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Methods used.
Can you add murder and intimidation to methods please? Unless you want to continue to be disingenuous… 2603:9000:A600:690F:B434:AED8:688F:D36 (talk) 02:27, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Article name.
In order to avoid the appearance of bias we should adopt the same naming convention used by the January 6th article which is "January 6 United States Capitol Attack". I think "Attacks on the Capitol during George Floyd Protests" would be the only unbiased title possible. 192.171.218.214 (talk) 21:13, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

What is "Community-controlled policing"?
This term does not appear to exist in common or scholarly parlance and its meaning and purpose in this article is unclear. It is not referenced in the article body or introduction nor is there a citation to justify its use. "Community policing" is a recognized approach to law enforcement that is advocated for and put into practice in some areas in the US, and "police reform" is a recognizable if not well-delineated umbrella term that is often a stated goal of Black Lives Matter (BLM) activitism. Either one would be a better choice; as it stands, this article is claiming the goals of the 2020 D.C. BLM protest were for something that isn't real. 108.49.179.27 (talk) 20:54, 11 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi! I'm not going to be editing this page due to conflicts of interest, unless other experienced Wikipedians think I should do otherwise. However, I'd like to direct folks to a clear example of the related phrase "community control of public safety" used by the DC-area Pan-Africanist group PACA DMV.
 * This is an established call particularly among Black organizers against policing, and is typically considered by those who use it to be a desirable transitional step to the elimination of policing entirely as an institution with meaningful power (i.e. police abolition), which was absolutely a stated goal of large factions of the protest movement that emerged in the wake of the murder of George Floyd).

Protests in Washington D.C. continued beyond June 2020
Protests continued until at least July, as can be seen in this article from NPR on July 20, 2020. Again, I am not suitable to write the section expanding this, as I was personally involved in some of the protests (including ones that continued into July). I am, however, happy to assist in whatever way is appropriate, and especially to collect sources to support a thorough and fair account of the scope and duration of these protests, in collaboration with anyone else who is interested in expanding this article to reflect a fuller scope of the timeline of these protests in Washington D.C. in 2020. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cekm96 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
