Just because a well-intentioned movement has some bad apples or exogenous variables such as antifa capitalizing on a lucrative or fiery opportunity doesn't mean that that it should be blamed for all the damage or deaths. A vast majority of the protests were very peaceful and pure. It's like saying all Muslims should be blamed for 9/11... the usual suspects here have such searing white fragility and you wonder why people protest against you.
Islam is double-faced: it is at the same time a viable religion with a valid spiritual core and a totalitarian societal model with a worldly, all-encompassing claim to power. That's the deeper reason why muslims struggle so much more than any other group to integrate into other cultures: a person needs to be merely an
orthodox, rather than ultra-orthodox or extremist, muslim to believe in things which are fundamentally incompatible with the values and norms of Western societies.
So while we cannot and should not blame all muslims for 9/11, these terror attacks are nonetheless an indicator for a problematic underlying ideology.

Likewise, the vast majority of cops are well-intentioned people doing their job to the best of their ability and in all conscience. The frequency with which police violence occurs and is covered up nonetheless points to a dangerous and troubling culture in many PDs; and to still pervasive racism in some corners of society.
----------
And in the same vein, the willingness of antifa and BLM activists to exercise violence and inflict property damage on innocent bystanders is indicative of a dangerous underlying ideology which rejects the rule of law and the state's monopoly on the use of force.
