There are no entirely peaceful mass protests any more. It’s impossible to get a large procession of angry people in this day and age to stay peaceful. As soon as one person acts out, then the police go and squash the protest, which causes chaos and more violence. Then people post videos of the incident claiming that it was a riot to begin with.

Claims like that got made back in the MLK days too, now we got cameras everywhere though.
You’re entirely correct, but we didn’t have the Internet, a misinformation super-spreader, nor did we have Russian or Chinese disinformation agents.
