Okay, putting the ideals of the two events aside, the fact is the police (and national guard) presence was great enough during the BLM protest to make breaching the perimeter essentially impossible, as opposed to the much lighter presence on the 6th.

I’m not talking about the photo op, I’m talking about the police presence trying to contain the violent mob earlier in the day.
