"Peaceful protest" demands seem to ignore that significant change in history has come from violent struggle; the French Revolution, Civil Rights movement in the US (when thinking of Black Panthers fighting against police brutality in black neighbourhoods), the American Civil War, workers strikes in the 1800s to better working conditions, etc.
2 million people peacefully marched against a new extradition law in Hong Kong and the Government ignored it. 2 million. So the protesting turned dangerous and violent and, if it had not been for COVID putting the breaks on things, there was no sign that things were going to get better.
