In both absolute terms and by averages, the protestors have demonstrated better individual restraint than law enforcement.

Which is quite an indictment considering the protestors can be joined by, as you noted, and random opportunist or provocateur.

There are 17 dead in the protests so far, 3 by police.

If an individual wants to be violent and doesn't care much about the repercussions, there are many avenues to be violent that don't involve waiting for a protest. If an individual wants to be violent and avoid repercussions, there aren't many opportunities besides joining the police.
