Tell that to the student protesters at Kent State in 1970. 4 killed, 9 wounded (one of whom was permanently paralyzed), in a peaceful protest. It was a time when the national guard was regularly called in to break up peaceful protests. There isn't an increase in violence, there's an increase in information now. There weren't cellphone videos of police violence on youtube in the 1970s (neither existed). There weren't 24 hour news stations who needed any content they could get (violence sells). We're over-saturated with ways to see current violence, and it can make it seem like it's happening more now (there's more reports of it, so it seems like it must be happening more). That's not at all the case.
