He didn't say the protests were wrong. He talked about policemen doing their jobs and tracking down the crime. I would think that peaceful protesters would support this, as the criminals ended up tarring all protesters with the same brush and de-legitimizing the point the protests were trying to make.
And no, I don't think that someone who is mad about crime is the reason that the protests happened. As I recall, it was because a policeman murdered a black, not because someone said that criminals should be found and arrested. An original objective was to ensure that Chauvin et al. faced justice for their crimes, so punishing those who commit other crimes seems consistent with the principles behind the protests.
It is ridiculous to characterize criminals as "the people standing up to the murders". Cwhiz clearly stated that his problem was with the crinimals, not the protesters. You have gone past an uncharitable reading to responding to points he simply did not make.
