According to this article [0], more than 20 were killed over the weekend in Chicago, when the previous max in one day was 10. Average people killed per day is about 2. I think it's safe to say the majority of those were due to the riots. That doesn't count numerous other cities where deaths occured.

> I'd hope that you would agree that the Government cannot unilaterally execute people, and that just sitting there while it does so is... completely immoral.

No of course I don't want the government executing people. But the death of George Floyd was the result of actions from one man, not of the entire government. I think you would be hard-pressed to find any member of the government that didn't see an issue with what happened.
