This is basically the what about Chicago argument when gun control is brought up. Different root causes for the perpetrators and different targets.

It's actually worse than that.

At least the "What about Chicago argument" is accurate in that there is an actual problem in Chicago and other violent areas.

The whole "protesters burned things down" argument is just a lie. There have been multiple investigations that all concluded that more than 90% of the George Floyd protests were peaceful, and for the small minority that turned violent, the police are the ones that started the violence in most cases.

I guess you’re right. The protests and riots though were predicated in injustice whereas 1/6 was based on a complete lie.
