We didn't have lock downs in the US. There were "stay at home" orders, which requested people to avoid large gatherings, but they weren't really enforced. You couldn't really enforce those kinds of things in a country where millions of Americans are houseless.

As for the protests and marches, they were actually met with curfew orders and police and military presence in most of the areas they happened in, which was part of the reason many turned into "riots." So even in those circumstances, they weren't seen as "ok" by local and federal governments.
