I've heard from the right that the left defines nonviolent action as violent to justify responding to that action in a violent way without blame. Something to remember when those same people say that any disruptive activity is violent.
The concept of peaceful protest is just a way to defang protests to the point of inefficacy, that's why it's clarified that way in the constitution. No government understands what threatens its existence like a newfound revolutionary government.
