I did not say I agreed with that.

I am doing no such thing. I am simply drawing an important distinction that you appear to be unwilling or unable to draw, between justified protest and unjustified violence.
You're excluding from consideration the category of justified property destruction. "Violence" is a different thing. No one outside the police and a few undercover police want to see kids and old people get injured, maimed, or killed. If police continue to escalate, there will also be violence in the other direction. That's on them.
