Yes, it looks that way.
My observation is that reversing the order of the example from occupied France makes the point even more clearly. Imaging that day one were a French farmer who watched German troops burning a couple of neighboring farms because of alleged support of the resistance. For the next 99 days, the same troops march by your house each with no further incidents.
Were the German troops 99% peaceful?
Or was did the violence on the first day mean that the threat of violence create a real threat for the next 99 days, so none of the patrols were peaceful?
If the example sounds farfetched consider that local mayors and governors have actively discouraged arrests. Worse yet local prosecutors have frequently dropped charges or allowed protestors to be released without any bail so that the same violent extremists have stayed on the streets for months.
Consider the example of Michael Reinoehl, who was recorded stalking and killing a Trump supporter a few weeks ago in Portland:
A June 2020 story in the Baker City Herald reported that Reinohl, of Clackamas, “and his teenage son were both arrested early Monday after an Oregon State Police trooper saw the pair apparently racing at over 100 mph in separate vehicles on Interstate 84 near North Powder.” The article indicated Reinoehl is 48 and was “charged with driving under the influence of a controlled substance, recklessly endangering another person and unlawful possession of a firearm. He was also cited for driving while uninsured, driving while suspended, and for speeding" . . .
According to Oregon Live, Reinoehl was previously accused of “carrying a loaded gun at an earlier downtown Portland protest.” Specifically, the newspaper reported, on July 5, he was “cited at 2:10 a.m. in the 700 block of Southwest Main Street on allegations of possessing a loaded gun in a public place, resisting arrest and interfering with police.” The accusations were dropped.
There are many other examples of prosecutors allowing violent protestors to go free without charges. Here is a report from June:
In St. Louis, the District of Columbia, Philadelphia and New York, serious charges against hundreds of people arrested for stealing and torching property have been dismissed. Those dismissals have come from the federal level in the nation’s capital, from district attorneys elected with millions in campaign cash from left-wing activist George Soros, and in New York from a bail reform measure that went into effect this year.
