The protests were the largest civil rights movement in US history.

That's several orders of magnatude larger than the largest trump rallys and riots.

Painting BLM as one unified voice of violence is totally dishonest.

Protesting the police is not violent, calling for justice is not violent. The continued, undeniable unaccounted murder of citizens by police is understandable reason for a relatively small portion of the BLM protests to turn ugly, and the police have a major, direct hand in that escalation.
