divisions deepen among elected officials about the legitimacy of the more violent protests

I have no questions on the legitimacy of terrorism - defined in the dictionary as "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims". Terrorism is pure evil. Terrorists need to be prosecuted and sent to prison for the rest of their natural lives, or they can be permanently stopped when they attack. They have no legitimacy except in the sense that they are a legitimate threat to all that is civilized and decent.
