The riots[1] this past year were actual rebellion too. They certainly challenged government authority and burned down police stations.

Some of the Lafayette Square protestors would have breached the white house if they could have too. 60 secret service agents were injured. The only difference, really, is that the Capitol Police did a worse job.

[1]I don't like using the term BLM riots since I have have no idea to what extent they are responsible as a movement (if at all).

There were very few riots - and part of the problem is that all BLM protests, whether resulting in riots or not, have been dubbed under this label.
