Why is everyone trying to draw the line between protesters and rioters? They are the same group, just at different stages of the movement. When protests are met with violence then they are gonna react with violence.

If you try to differentiate between good/bad members than you de-legitimize the movement. Accept that a country at civil war will commit violence. I’m sorry you and your petty bourgeoisie friends don’t like people fighting back against the police, but standing idle has done nothing.
