COVID-19 has, just since March, killed 122,211 Americans, that's more than
twice as many as died in the entire Vietnam war. As far as I know
protesters, and even looters and rioters, have not killed or even seriously
injured one single person, so as "widespread lawlessness" goes that's
pretty tame.
