The key thing to call out is those L.A. protesters were peaceful and orderly. They remained calm even while being attacked by Trump’s goons. There were no fights and no murders. They protested civilly, and employed civil disobedience and organisation.

They are not completely non-violent though, as a handful did damage property by setting fire to Waymo’s (equipped with police surveillance). But that does not apply to all the protesters as, if I recall correctly, they had a massive turnout. Only a handful destroyed property.

Property destruction is not violence.

Property destruction of an individual owner's (e.g house they depend on) is violence, if it poses damage to the family that lives there.
Destruction of corporate property is not.
The funny part is the cops only ever respond to one of these types of damage. Take a guess which.

Depends on the individual.
