Rocks get thrown at police cars when the police try to shut down a protest, frequently using violence.
it says violence is justified because the state has used violence at unrelated events in the past
It doesn’t say that, it brings up throwing a rock at a car AFTER police violence. That is you projecting your apparent dislike of protesters standing up for themselves to twist a clear message.
Also police should not use tactics against a peaceful protest to provoke a violent response, which they do all the time. Like crowding the protesters into smaller and smaller spaces, declaring it is necessary to disperse because of the time of day and they will violently force dispersal if they don’t, etc.

Shutting down a peaceful protest should be illegal, in my opinion.
Agreed.
