This is the same as any major conflict. People want to try to work thing out without violence. The times that does happen are unremarkable. The times it doesn't happen, we can judge later weather it was the right thing to do.
When was there a time where people were fighting for basic human rights and in retrospect, it wasn’t considered the right thing to do?
On the one hand, I suppose that depends on who is defining "basic human rights." I'm pretty sure the Trump Convoys would claim that's what they were doing.
On the other hand, the question was on riots, not on rights. Not all riots are justified.
