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.
