You are totally downplaying the importance of the protests.A lot of riots occured in the US history and this is yet another one. Nothing is gonna happen. Protesters will get soothed very soon and everything will be forgotten
Yes, people will calm down, but nothing will be forgotten. The overall trend of people's reaction to police brutality against blacks in recent years clearly shows increasing violence and civil disobedience.
Everyday that these protests continue translates into billions of dollars of economic damage for the US in a time that covid-19 is already damaging the US economy. It can cause an early second wave of covid-19 to hit the US before they can fully reopen their economy. 15% of the US population are non-Hispanic black people. They may not have the power to make a change in the system, but they can cause more violence and crime in the US. The sociological effects of police brutality in the US will resurface times and times again in future, making the US motto of defending democracy less credible than ever. And let's not forget that the court for the police officer will be held in future. And if he doesn't get a sentence that satisfies people, people will revolt again.
And this is bad for Trump too. Although I don't think he's a racist or he has anything to do with this, but a lot of people blame him for empowering white supremacists in the US.
So, no. People will calm down, but the incident won't be forgotten.
