There's also been enough cases of non violent protests in the last two months being met with rubber bullets, batons, and tear gas to dismiss any attempts to characterize them all as violent protests, as you imply here. That is quite disingenuous. The justification is guilt by association, and yet we're referring to a terrorist act in which a group that had prior armed showdowns with federal agents and some ties to militias was not treated the same.

As you said, LE handled that situation the right way, but the point isn't that they should have been met with rubber bullets and tear gas, but rather that peaceful protests should not be. 

Simply one was right wing so some defend it.  One is left wing so some attack it.

Peaceful is peaceful and adding troops that are beating and gassing and shooting peaceful protestors now is bad no matter how they handled them then.
