(The fact that those two seemingly different things were both considered innocuous enough to proceed is an interesting fact in itself)

I'd phrase this similarly, but with a slight difference: conservatives favor maintaining existing systems as they are, or (at the farther
-
end) as they were. Liberals want change within the overall framework of the current system—and specifically avoid rank reversal.
-
They're thus both ideologies for people who are fundamentally satisfied with the system and enfranchised by it.
-
Any change which doesn't fit into the space of perturbation of the existing system—eg, any chance which reverses rank hierarchies—
-
automatically falls outside those bounds, and becomes Leftism.
-
Which notably includes any changes to racial or gender hierarchies. (Which is why feminism was considered radical in the 1910's-70's)
-
So both Conservative and Liberal protest are "acceptable," because they ultimately ask to preserve the status quo.
-
But a protest against institutionalized police racism, no matter how peaceful it is and no matter how overt the racism, is never acceptable.
