golyguDechreuodd yr aflonyddwch fel brotestiadau lleol yn ardal fetropolitan Minneapolis-Saint Paul yn Minnesota cyn ymledu yn gyflym ar draws y genedl gyfan ac yn rhyngwladol er mwyn gefnogi mudiad Black Lives Matter. Er bod mwyafrif y protestiadau wedi bod yn heddychlon, disgynnodd gwrthdystiadau [3] mewn rhai dinasoedd i derfysgoedd a ysbeilio eang[4][5] gyda mwy yn cael eu nodi gan ysgarmesoedd stryd a thrais sylweddol gan yr heddlu, yn enwedig yn erbyn protestwyr a gohebwyr heddychlon.[6][7] Roedd o leiaf 200 o ddinasoedd yn gosod cyrffyw erbyn Mehefin 3, tra bod o leiaf mwy na 30 o daleithiau a Washington DC, wedi actifadu dros 24,000 o bersonél y National Guard oherwydd yr aflonyddwch torfol.[8][9][10][11] O ddechrau'r protestiadau hyd at Fehefin 3, roedd o leiaf 11,000 o bobl wedi cael eu harestio,[12] gan gynnwys pob un o'r pedwar heddwas a fu'n rhan o'r arestiad a arweiniodd at farwolaeth Floyd.[13]
Mae gweinyddiaeth Trump wedi tynnu beirniadaeth eang am ei ymateb caled, militaraidd a’i rethreg ymosodol.[14] Mae'r aflonyddwch hefyd yn digwydd yn ystod y pandemig COVID-19, gydag arbenigwyr iechyd yn rhybuddio y bydd y protestiadau yn debygol o hwyluso lledaeniad cyflym y firws.[15][16]
