Which part was the mistake? Breaking in, looting, parading the confederate flag, killing a cop, insurrection?

Blind partisan hatred is a mistake.

Besides that, the people responsible for violent crimes will very likely be prosecuted and harshly punished. The message "go home peacefully" is irrelevant for those people and is probably intended for everyone else. Looting is bad, but it's "jail time" bad and not "undying hatred" bad. It's okay to show some compassion to looters while telling them to change their behavior.
