Would be nice if we could start at not demonizing peaceful protests. Nowadays any protest is seen as a massive misguided problem of you so much as block a street.

Riots are generally an escalation of peaceful protests, sure there are exceptions.

Usually, riots break out when people get so frustrated at the fact that no progress gets made during protests that they start to lash out.
