(3,333 posts)This gives them justification to clamp down and restore order. This increases their power.
The undecided voters just want a stable economy. They will support peaceful protests but not looting, wanton violence, and destruction of property.
This plays into the wrong hands.
And besides, it's wrong to throw rocks at people and to break things that aren't yours. That's why white supremacists are infiltrating. They want to bring discredit to peaceful protesters.

On the other hand, the vast majority of protesters didn't do that.
