Merry Xmas!
An inherently violent and oppressive system, rife with racism and run by a series of increasingly brutal administrations, lacking any empathy and lashing out at the people...
How else do you fight back?

Guess Tianamen Square was too far away as well.
A flag perhaps :/
Violent? Deserving of violent attack by the police?
That was just one incident caught on video. Others have been reported by local media. I'm not aware of anyone being run down by vehicles in Portland. Bottom line is the violence needs to stop.

the police need to stop violenting then
Is this method of fighting back working? Who is benefiting? I think it's the Trump administration that is benefiting. Peaceful demonstrations are the most effective IMO.

not when they're violently and illegally suppressed
There is overwhelming evidence of illegal police brutality over the protests here :
Exclusive: Amnesty maps out US police violence at #BlackLivesMatter protests.
That is unlawful violence perpetrated on people.
You have mainly been concerned about property damage on this thread.
If property damage concerns you surly it can not overwhelm your opinion about damage done to people... unlawfully ?

I think you've destroyed your own argument here. Peaceful protest = well meaning but naive. .....

Millions of people peacefully demonstrated against the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Iraq still suffers to this day. There's a tribute to the effectiveness of both peaceful protest as well as liberal interventionism.

Like the moms who were teargassed?
Like black NFL players who were called SOBs for kneeling?
Peaceful protest is a great idea.
In reality, it's not going to stop these bastards in charge. People have to defend themselves.

I saw this image going around on Twitter earlier. It's an illustration made by an artist. It might have been based on a real photo, but this version is fictional.
I think the violence needs to be seen in light of it's known consequences, a violent protester once Identified and located will likely face severe harm from the system whereas a violent police officer will likely recieve full support from the same system.
It's this whole imbalance and inequality in modern society that is behind civil unrest.
The system has become endemicly corrupt, self serving and vicious
