It was peaceful? I mean, it has party in the name, not massacre. Also, it led to the revolution over time and gathered more and more people.

So if some random group comes in your home and throws all your stuff outside in the rain to destroy it, According to you they are being peaceful? Very peaceful behavior, Indeed.
I mean, yes. Violence involves physically harming people (or threatening to), not property. At least by WHO’s definition. So I mean the point being that most of these protests are not violent, just maybe destructive (and even then, most people are not being destructive.) the violence comes from the police, or literally florida saying they WILL kill you.
Good point about how these protests aren't really violent. I think there's a distinction between peaceful and violence. Property destruction is not peaceful behavior but it is not necessarily violent or always morally unjustified in my opinion. Context matters with violence a lot.
