Protesting in the streets is actually a right; it's in the First Amendment as the right to petition for redress [0].
You have redefined terrorism; the legal code emphasizes that the crimes do not have to have political ends other than terrorizing the population at large [1].
Please consider not repeating racist talking points. Equivocating protests for racial justice, whose main call is for police officers to use less violence against the population, with protests as a cover for insurrection, whose main goal is to infiltrate government buildings and kidnap/lynch/kill elected officials, is not just disgusting but an abrogation of the facts and claims that we've collected about the last year.
