I think you misunderstood me. Admittedly, I was letting context do a lot of work there. What I meant was that violence by the police against peaceful protesters was red meat to the Blue Lives Matter base. Civil disobedience doesn’t work in that scenario. I’m not talking about passive protest. I’m talking about Civil Rights Era nonviolent actions. They won’t work right now.
Breaking shit seems to have gotten people’s attention. I’m not a supporter of pro-active violence against anybody. But you shoot poison (tear gas) at me, while I’m exercising my 1A right to protest? Yeah, I’ll throw that back atcha.
