"Mostly peaceful protests" is interesting as a terminology used to explain and excuse the minority of violence that occurs in conjunction with the protests.
Using that definition, pretty much every war - especially the World Wars, would be considered "mostly peaceful" because only a small percentage of people actually actively participated in them - but wars are defined by destruction, violence and death, just as these "protests" should be."
