Metric	2020 racial‑justice protests (nationwide picture)	January 6 Capitol attack
Total charged	Roughly 10–16,000 arrests, but no single national charging database; many never became formal cases	1,200+ federally charged, DOJ calls it the largest prosecution in its history
Felony vs. misdemeanor	Clear majority were misdemeanors (curfew, failure to disperse, low‑level property offenses). Felonies were a small minority: arson, serious assaults, major property damage.	Hundreds of felony cases (assault on officers, obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy) plus a large block of misdemeanor trespass/unlawful entry cases.
Cases declined / dismissed	Very high attrition: in many cities, most protest arrests were dropped, never charged, or later dismissed—often for evidentiary, policy, or backlog reasons. (Example: local reviews like Philadelphia show large shares diverted or dropped, with only a subset pursued to conviction.)	Federal Jan 6 cases had low declination: once identified and arrested, most defendants were formally charged; only a small fraction were dropped outright.
Prison sentences	Nationally, hundreds received jail or prison time, usually months to a few years, concentrated in serious arson/assault/property‑destruction cases. Many others got fines, probation, or diversion. (No precise national prison‑count exists; this is an informed synthesis of federal and local reporting.)	By early 2024, 460+ Jan 6 defendants had been sentenced to incarceration, including numerous multi‑year terms and some sentences over 10–20 years for seditious conspiracy and aggravated assaults.

• How many felony vs. misdemeanor arrests in Summer 2020? Most were misdemeanors; felonies were a small minority. There is no authoritative national breakdown by charge level, but city‑by‑city data and federal cases show that only a relatively small slice of protest‑related defendants were charged with serious felonies (arson, serious assault, major property damage), while the bulk were low‑level public‑order offenses that were often later dropped.
• How many cases were declined by prosecutors (2020 protests)? There is no single national declination statistic, but in many jurisdictions a majority of protest arrests never resulted in sustained prosecution—either no charges were filed, or charges were later dismissed or diverted. Local audits (like Philadelphia’s) show large portions of protest cases dropped, and national syntheses describe high attrition as the norm rather than the exception.
• How many resulted in prison sentences (2020 protests)? Best reading of the record: hundreds nationwide received jail or prison time, almost all tied to serious violence or destruction, not simple protest presence. Many thousands of lower‑level arrestees saw their cases dropped, pled to non‑custodial outcomes, or entered diversion. There is no precise national prison‑count, but the pattern is clear: custodial sentences were the exception, not the rule.
• Comparison with January 6 arrests and prosecutions
  • Scale: Jan 6 has fewer total defendants than the 2020 protests but is still the largest single federal prosecution campaign in DOJ history.
  • Charge mix: Jan 6 has a much higher proportion of felonies, including obstruction of an official proceeding, assaults on officers, and seditious conspiracy, alongside misdemeanor trespass.
  • Follow‑through: Protest cases from 2020 show high drop/declination rates and relatively few prison terms compared to total arrests; Jan 6 cases show low declination, high conviction rates, and hundreds of prison sentences, many of them multi‑year.

Jesus you’re dumb. You didn’t even read your own wiki garbage did you?

…city‑by‑city data and federal cases show that only a relatively small slice of protest‑related defendants were charged with serious felonies…

Plus you claimed 30,000…Your own cut and paste shows that to be a lie.

It is a correction to better numbers. Many thousands went to jail.

Talk about light sentences. The J6 crowed should have been shot on site yet most were allowed to go home to be arrested.

Looks like, from the recent Scotus decision, your numbers are about to change.....

Almost as bad.

What is Prism Reports?

Political Leaning:

It is an independent, non-profit outlet that produces "movement journalism". Its editorial stance is firmly left-of-center and progressive, focusing on issues like racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, labor movements, and immigration.

Origin:

The platform was formerly known as the Daily Kos Education Fund, having been founded by the left-wing political blog Daily Kos.

Editorial Stance:

Rather than supporting the MAGA movement, Prism Reports frequently covers and opposes far-right, nationalist, and conservative politics, explicitly framing much of its content around fighting fascism and white supremacy.
