When leftists say "Most of the protests are peaceful!", what exactly is their point?

Question

Most Muslims are peaceful, but that doesn't mean Islamic extremists don't exist. Most Americans are peaceful, but that doesn't mean there isn't crime in America. Most people don't kill other people, but serial killers still exist. Most people aren't homeless, but homeless people still exist. Just because most people aren't part of the problem doesn't mean the problem should be ignored. It's a stupid argument that democratic politicians are spouting to appease the mob. The fact that some of the protests are violent means that they should he dealt with. Or are you all for ignoring crime and violence as long as the violent people agree with your political views?

The point is that a few people abusing the protest or getting caught in the  herd-dynamics does not make the protest itself unjustified

You know, most rapes are committed by men!  Yeah, most men are peaceful, but still there are criminals lurking among them!  We need to throw them all out of the country, and pass strong laws forbidding them from coming in!

You know, most murderers drank milk as a child!  So let's ban cows, too!  Steers are okay because (1) they don't make cows and (2) they're delicious!

Because the conservative media lies, claiming the reverse is true.  And some people are stupid enough to believe that.

Why do rightists say that most people who don't wear a mask don't get covid, or most young black men are not killed by police, or most people who own AR-15s don't murder people, most who get tested positive with the virus don't die, etc.
