Did the cops destroy all burn all those building and destroy all those businesses? Not really, no.

Moving the goal post from violence to property damage?

Burning and looting are violent, just like murder.

no, they are categorically different

vi·o·lence /ˈvī(ə)ləns/

noun

    behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.

if your definition places injuries to human beings in the same category as damage to things, then your definition is just an excuse to do violence on people

Damage to things damages people. This is hard for communists to understand, as they don't believe in private property.

You can't have freedom and liberty without the security of private property. Learn some history.

Private property is by definition a limit on freedom -- it's always a trade-off. Slave societies were always obsessed with protecting their freedoms.
