I find it surprising you think any of this is new, or that in this there is any deserving party. If you focus on the blip in front of your eyes(BLM), you probably bypassed all casuality that made that blip exist, as well as what happened when the "blip" peaked previously. If you focus on what you're fed constantly, you will live in a permanent state of fear. And that is the objective - you focus on the flames and don't see who is fueling them or trying to take them out. Assuming you are talking about the US (frankly, your description of "society" is quite different from mine), violence is actually condoned and often encouraged, and has been throughout american history. There are a few exceptions, but that's it. And that, my friend, is not a matter of wealth. It is a matter of civility. And if you're expecting the ruling powers to enforce civility, you need to show them it is in their interest also. France did it quite well with the guillotine... Just an idea.

Deserving party? Deserving of what? Your response is so disconnected from what I wrote I can barely understand it as such. Our laws prohibit all forms of violence domestically, do they not? Those are the explicit rules of our society. Whatever else you are referring to, it seems less relevant than that. Recent violent upticks with protestors v. police/military are a fact, and are relevant here. Do you think that all of this is indicative of a productive society? Destroyed police stations and dead/wounded protestors? It warrants an adjustment. We must try to fix the root cause, because the cost of all of this is too high. For everyone.

  There have been race riots before in the US... every couple of decades or so we get major ones. Thinking that this time marks the end of society is perhaps looking at the “blip” that he’s talking about.
