No, they were intentionally used differently
Justified - having, done for, or marked by a good or legitimate reason.
Acceptable - able to be tolerated or allowed.
Justified implies legitimacy, acceptable does not.
You also appear to be changing arguments none of your above statements address your thesis which I understand to be If one tolerates rioting one must also tolerate police shooting people in the back.
