Protests, riots are almost never monolithic and desperate people and local organized crime almost always takes advantage of the commotion.
There are already reports of Police antagonists stirring up commotion in these.
There is a very long history of far-right agitators trying to hijack and smear justifiable legitimate protests. Many examples from the 2020 BLM protests.
Foreign adversaries – notably Russia – almost always seizes on these and has a hand in stirring up division.
So the fallacy is the assumption that the people committing the looting are the same people who originally set out to protest the following grievances:
Severe under-funding of schools.
Overcrowded classrooms and lack of air conditioning in excessively-hot climate.
Teacher shortages and schedules.
To again reiterate, much of the time legitimate protests are hijacked by outside groups for their own ulterior motives (political optics, theft, etc.)
