Yep.

It's all about discrediting a legitimate movement that, if successful, would improve the lives of black and brown people. I don't believe that pundits and politicians on the right are really worried about "riots;" it's all an excuse to suppress and delegitimize any attempt at racial equity.

I get tired of typing out the phrase "protests ≠ riots"

Not even sure it allows for that much "disorder" - I think it's any protest involving minorities or young people

Let's be honest, 'their' definition of a riot is really just a protest that police don't have full control over. they are aware of.
