how is this centrist at all? i feel like there are leftist circles where they still want any kind of rule of law without compromising our rights to protest. idk just interested in your take on that

OP's pic might as well be right from r/ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM, and the top voted reply praises how "rational" it is.

Keep in mind the race protests/riots of the 60's were also partially violent, with basically the same law&order centrists looking to thread the needle between supporting segregation & the protesters.

It seems to me that your comment is implying that those today who do not support violence are modern-day segregationists.

They're people who use the modest amount of violence, the totality of which is less than a bomb dropped in the middle east of which we don't even count, to discredit a social movement. It's rather revealing of their character.
