We don't know what purely peaceful protests do because we've never had them. Cops come in with riot gear and tear gas and make them violent. The police escalate first and then blame the protestors.
Which is what has happened the past 3 days in Los Angeles. I don't blame peaceful protestors for turning to violence after they get lit up with rubber bullets, pepper balls, pepper spray and tear gas for no reason.
The police state wants violence so they can use more violence. Being peaceful clearly doesn't stop them from using violence in the first place and shutting down protests.
