Where do you see people suggesting the targeting a 3rd party for the sins of police is justified. It is an unfortunate consequence of large numbers of people gathering in groups. It’s not reasonable to draw the same through line from rioter to protester to supporter of protests as it is to draw from Murdering police officer -> to police force.
The police force is responsible for the behaviour of its officers. A protestor or a supporter of protest is not responsible for the rioter that chooses to vandalize property. No one (except the vandal themselves) is targeting the property. You seem to not see this difference of responsibility.
I do agree that if you give Police the power to use force. There will be occasion where an innocent person could be harmed. However we can have the discussion on what is a reasonable amount of harm when we get any ware near that point. Right now I don’t see the value in discussing it when people are getting shot in the back.
