Are there statistics on how often non-violent protesters escalate to violence in the face of failure?

Sounds like a difficult to quantify phenomenon; I don't think statistics would increase clarity. A historian has a better claim to understanding whether or not it is true but I am not one.

In other words, I'm full of shit unless someone backs it up.

Yeah, there's an edit button for a reason.
