I have never called a riot a peaceful protest. I have said that I see WHY they turn violent

Really? So can you please explain to me why the demonstrations against freedom of speech at these 2 universities turned violent?

When the police assault people who are doing nothing other than peacefully protesting - that too is a riot (a police riot) so they can be culpable as well.

Victor. Please focus. This was a discussion about the riots at 2 universities. Are you know saying that they happened because the police were assaulting these innocent snowflakes?
