Utterly false.  The protests have consistently been described as "largely peaceful" long past the time this was true. 

According to the second link above posted to Fred, the mayor and police chief of DC were complaining that US DAs were not processing all the cases referred to them.

“When we make arrests for violent protests, we need those violent agitators to be prosecuted,” said Bowser, who said the president’s tweets were “meant to distract from the failures of the last four years.”

She said there is “no accountability” for people who come to protests and attack police, “and we haven’t seen a willingness from the U.S. attorney to prosecute them.”

The DA office counters saying:

“Specifically, with regard to the spike in protest-related violence throughout the District this summer, the office aggressively charged 121 criminal cases from May 28, 2020 to August 1, 2020,” the office said. “These cases included assault and battery on local police officers and federal agents, arson cases, and the destruction of both private and government property.”

To which Major Bowser responds:

“Indeed, since May 30, the Metropolitan Police Department has submitted 63 affidavits in support of arrest and search warrants directly related to criminal activities conducted under the guise of First Amendment assemblies. Twenty-eight of these warrants have been declined, while another 24 are still pending review by your office,” Bowser said.

She added that this delay was also found with homicide cases, and she repeated her concerns over the delays that affected the safety of police officers.

Looks like someone  is trying to prosecute rioters. Same in Portland where the kicker, Marquise Love, is in jail, and the guy who killed the Trump supporter (claiming a Rittenhouse-style self defense) was himself gunned down by US marshals. Rioting is not a safe occupation even in Portland.

You posted that link as proof that protests are still described as "largely peaceful" if I have followed the back and forth correctly. I don't see why that still isn't an accurate description of protests in general.  A "largely peaceful" protests involving thousands upon thousands of people may turn violent late in the evening as dozens of rioters break windows and throw rocks at the police. I don't see why something like that shouldn't still be called largely peaceful. Hannity and Tucker do not see it that way, but their goal is not accurate reporting. Night after night the talk of cities "burning to the ground."
