Interesting and fair question by @Brianlevy387 . I applaud the peaceful #GeorgeFloydProtests . Now, that we have seen, how looters take advantage of them, peaceful protesters can help avoid that.

Lots of demos are scheduled in adv with police cooperation, to safeguard all. If you can do that to thwart looting, wouldn’t that hinder looters to commit a crime? If so, then not doing so is helping looters commit a crime.”complicit”, thus and on you, even if no legal consequ’s.

That's exactly what the first amendment says! People have the right to assemble and protest as long as they do so with advanced police co-operation. Free speech with prior restraint.
