I think the worst bootlicking I've seen on here is people saying that protesting peacefully after curfew or protesting peacefully in spite of an order to disperse is "no longer peaceful" because "defiance is a form of violence" or "passive aggressive is still aggression".

Protesting after dark and after curfew gives cover to the rioters and looters.

Whatever's being burned or robbed during rioting and looting is less important than human lives. There is no level of violence perpetrated by the rioters and looters that reaches that of the systemic racism, assault, and murder being committed by police forces.

"Whatever's being burned or robbed during rioting and looting is less important than human lives." Obviously true but that's not the complete tradeoff, stuff vs lives. You/we/they are losing much more than stuff (other people's) every time looters/rioters burn stuff.

I absolutely agree that the important thing that is destroyed when windows are smashed and merchandise is stolen is not the monetary value of the property, but the idea of an ongoing peace, the "ground rules" of civil society, the idea of a stable equilibrium
