Biden was brutally mocked online:

Remember Jan6 belongs to Pelosi.

Based on our research, we rate PARTLY FALSE the claim that Black Lives Matter protesters caused $2 billion worth of damage and faced no consequences. It’s true that, in 2020, protests over Floyd’s death were estimated to have caused about $2 billion in damage. But the post is wrong to say demonstrators faced no consequences. News reports indicate more than 10,000 protesters were arrested, most for low-level offenses.
But, Pelosi’s Jan6 whites were jailed by the Democrats and it is still an an on-going operation.

Biden asks crowd what would Trump do if January 6 rioters were black?
The president worked the room and was more diplomatic about Trump than he has been at recent appearances. At CRED, Biden swatted at Trump for all the rollbacks the Republican has planned. ‘The bottom line is the guy we’re running against wants to back up all the prospects – all the progress we’ve made,’ the president said. ‘This guy’s a different breed of cat, not your typical Republican,’ Biden also said.

The answer follows if it is the truth:
Protest-related damages cost about $2 billion, according to estimate
Damages caused by the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests were estimated to cost $2 billion, a number that could “still go higher,” according to a February 2021 report published on the World Economic Forum’s website.
The report was authored by the head of Property Claim Services, which has tracked protest-related insurance claims for decades. The group found that 2020 protests cost more than any other period of unrest in American history, as the average cost of demonstrations since 1950 has been about $90 million annually.

Other cost estimates support Property Claim Services’ $2 billion figure.

Axios reported in September 2020 that the Insurance Information Institute, which collects data from Property Claim Services and related firms, estimated that damages could total “as much as 2 billion and possibly more.”
Thousands of protesters arrested in 2020
Contrary to the claim in the post, many Black Lives Matter protesters did face consequences. Estimates vary, but news outlets reported thousands of protesters were arrested in the months following Floyd’s death in May 2020.
A June 22, 2020, article from The Washington Post tallied over 14,000 arrests made since May 27. The Hill reported over 17,000 arrests had been made in the first two weeks of protests.
Despite the large number of arrests, The Hill reported most of those protesters were booked not for violent crimes, but for low-level offenses such as violating curfews. Obstructing roadways and carrying open containers were other reasons for the arrests, as well as “failure to disperse.”
Some more serious charges were filed as well, however. The Associated Press reported hundreds were charged with burglary and looting as of June 4, 2020.
In October 2020, researchers writing for The Washington Post analyzed 7,305 protest events and found police made arrests at 5% of them. Only 3.7% of the events involved property damage or vandalism, according to the analysis.
PolitiFact reported in June 2020 that, while protests in several major cities started with violence, most demonstrations across the country were largely peaceful.
Our rating: Partly false
Again, based on our research, we rate PARTLY FALSE the claim that Black Lives Matter protesters caused $2 billion worth of damage and faced no consequences. It’s true that, in 2020, protests over Floyd’s death were estimated to have caused about $2 billion in damage. But the post is wrong to say demonstrators faced no consequences. News reports indicate more than 10,000 protesters were arrested, most for low-level offenses.
