I think whenever you have a protest it's seen as an aggressive action, whether that's against wearing masks, or police misconduct. Given the history of violent race riots, probably moreso in the case of George Floyd protests. I'm personally of the opinion that protests don't accomplish much, and so I see protesters of any denomination as ignorant. Given that,  protesting in this manner seems to polarizes the opinions on the matter, getting people emotionally involved in the talking points, and embedding their sense of self righteousness no matter what 'side they're on
