I believe the commonly used term for this is "largely peaceful".

Sure. They're largely peaceful, except when attacking and almost killing civilians[1]. And it's not even intended as a joke. There's some crazy levels of cognitive dissonance going on.

Yep, one night protestors were just as brutal as police, mistaken identity and tensions high from the other night when a car almost ran protesters over.

You have one example versus dozens of examples of police violence. And it's Andy Ngo, who once again didn't actually take the video footage.

You're the one with cognitive dissonance claiming all nights are violently attacking civilians when you have one example. Somehow though most nights police beat protestors or use tear gas and that’s ok by you?

The purpose of using tear gas is to disperse a disorderly crowd before they can begin attacking people.

You need to learn what a dispersal order is and why it’s not optional.
