I get what you were saying. I was pointing out that there is a huge difference between the thing they're trying to find a solution to. It's not the case that every frustrating inability to achieve a satisfactory outcome makes illegal violence or property damage an understandable reaction. It matters what you're after. The difference between trying to get the Catholic Church to atone for wrongs committed in the past and trying to get police in America to stop killing black people immediately, is an enormous gap. I don't think it's fair to react to them in the same way.
