The only question I see in that OP is:
//what does Answerbank think of the civll unrest ?//
… but I suspect it’s a veiled invitation to Trump-bash - and one that I’ll decline in favour of answering the question.
I can’t speak for AnswerBank, but whilst I think protests are understandable, wanton destruction verging on anarchy, which is what we’re witnessing, is not. This isn’t just about George Floyd.

The problem with peaceful protest in the US is that it achieves nothing as has been seen time and time again.
The only way to change is to fight, smash and burn, have a few heads broken by state operatives then convene hearings with newly discovered leaders from the oppressed side to the fore.
Pass a law or two and relative peace reigns for a few years.

Trump, you want. Well, he's one of a long line of professional US politicians, mostly mendacious, mostly self-serving, few as intellectually challenged (mind you, young Bush springs to mind as quite similarly stupid).
Protests over the police murder of a poor black man in America? I don't know the answer. Seeing TV programmes about slavery and its aftermath do not inspire me with hope. It's taken a century and a half to get to this level, which is that many Americans still believe in the superiority of the white 'races' (as people do here in the UK).
It will change, it will change; the pendulum will swing - not in your lifetime, nor mine, but it will swing. All empires fall, and their most stoney inbuilt prejudices fall, eventually.
I have hope, but more sorrow.

I have been vaguely following the events in the US, mainly Minneapolis, following the Floyd incident because I have been expecting some form of civil unrest for some time.
Many of the rednecks on the US gun channels on YouTube have long been talking about 'Boogaloo' (and it's derivatives, Big Igloo and Ice House) which is their codename for civil insurrection. I was expecting it to come following some kind of restriction on firearms ownership or seizure issue. Much of what these people write in their comments on the channels can be dismissed as juvenile fantasy but not all.
What really concerns me is who placed the pallet of bricks on the sidewalk by the courthouse? Who was the man carrying an open umbrella seen to be smashing windows systematically with a hammer but not looting? An ex-girlfriend thinks she recognised this person as a serving Police Officer.
I am not a conspiracy theorist normally but all these circumstances seem to point to some kind of underlying plot, the nature and intent of which I cannot fathom.
Links can be supplied (again) if required.
