How about the Boston Tea party?

Oh yeeeeah, when the colonists all took home the tea and Vizio TVs.

No silly, TVs weren't around then. They rioted appropriate for the time. They RIOTED. Period.

Okay, give me the body count, the number of looted shops and wagons burned in the street during the Boston Tea Party.

They destroyed property . Namely the tea they were so angry about. Again, Appropriate for the time.

There were also The Stamp Act Riots among others. Educate yourself.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incidents_of_civil_unrest_in_Colonial_North_America

I hate to disappoint you, but I am familiar with those. I was responding to the incident YOU recited. You chose to compare that one to NLM. Words you choose do matter and plot the course of the conversation. Maybe you want to work on saying what you mean.

Oh I meant it. And those other riots happened too. And I meant to Point those out too. People in this country have rooted over their perceived injustices since before we were even a real country.

Okay, you meant it. Do not assume I am uneducated in American History because I did not cite instances to try to make your point for you. That's your job if you chose to debate. Now I am curious, what the hell is "They rioted appropriate for the time." So there is a Hoyle's book of Rioting rules, a Robert's Rioting Rules of Order? Assuming that is even a thing, let's look at the progression. No body count or property destruction in Boston aside from the King's imported tea. By your terms "appropriate". Fast forward to Baltimore, is that appropriate? Charlotte? Ferguson? How much change had come from looting and burning down the neighborhood CVS that was totally unrelated to any of the issues. Is that appropriate for this time? Did Tim McVeigh violate the rules of appropriate discourse with his protest in Oklahoma City against the behavior at Ruby Ridge? What will be appropriate in 20 years, the exploding truck, or will it be okay to detonate dirty bombs?

"They rioted appropriate for the time." means you can't ask me where the burning carriages were or what shops wre stolen from equating actions of TODAY to the past in what YOU deem as equatable terms.

They rioted the way THEY rioted for THEIR reasons. Same for today.

PS- "appropriate" means as it was/is given the circumstances and time and the choices of the rioters, not "acceptable" as we use it in other context

I find it somewhat disturbing that anyone has a standard for an appropriate amount of rioting because a police officer shot someone in the line of duty. These are the equivalent of lynch mobs. They want someone hung for the action and the want it right then. Good or bad shooting you don't convict someone a day or 2 after a "possible" crime.
