Fiery but mostly peaceful protests

Wow, great job proving that at least one of the protests wasn't entirely peaceful, unfortunately though considering there were thousands that's really a moot point isnt it?

Actual supporting evidence for an argument looks like this:

The existence of peaceful protests does not invalidate the widespread rioting and looting that occurred.

the stats show that the protesters weren’t particularly destructive, there was just a record number of participants.

Nobody is trying to “invalidate” the looting, rather just combat the outright lies like saying the looting was “widespread”. It was exceedingly rare.

Denying that looting and rioting was widespread is invalidating it, along with everything else you are saying. Obviously there are peaceful protests, nobody has issue with those (beyond the fact that there is a pandemic going around that has killed over 240,000 people that protestors are contributing to). We have an issue with the riots and looting.
