Sure, and the other ones look the other way. Totally "good" guys just lettin' bad guys be bad guys. Until the "good" guys start going after and punishing the "few bad ones", they are all bad.
If we're going to use the "just some bad apples" argument, then it might be prudent to apply it to the protestors, too?
At this point it's borderline ignorant to be unaware of the ongoing police brutalities. And if one -is- aware, it's disingenuous to compare what they're doing to some stores being set on fire- turns out people really, really care about property damage suddenly. [0] [1]

You seem to have misread "not all the violence comes from police" as "not all of the police are bad", here.
Yeah, sure. So most of the violence comes at the hands of the police, and somehow decades of abuse is comparable to a week's worth of rioting.
18 people died during the Miami riots and 63 people were killed during the LA riots. Friend of mine spent four days being sheltered in a black families house during the Miami riots. In the LA riots looters were driving up into the LA hills to loot wealthy houses.
Meanwhile 2020 'riots' you have people taking their children to protests. And a few Walmarts and other shops got looted.
No comparison at all.
Not to say that the police haven't committed a ton of violence in these protests, but it's not all them.
