You are wrong in many ways. To start, they were BLM riots. And before you go on the whole "mostly peaceful" route, BLM nor those supporting them condemned the riots. Maybe some did, but they were not loud enough. You have Maxine Waters telling people to get more confrontational and the Mayor of Portland standing by the riots.
Next, a big problem of BLM is that they jump to conclusions way too early. Look at Jakob Blake. They immediately rioted and claimed it was injustice when evidence showed it was not. With George Floyd people were immediately jumping to the conclusion that Chauvin was in the wrong and racist even before an investigation game. But after an investigation you will see the cops trying to help Floyd, he refused to get out of the car, he said he could not breath while standing up, he was high on drugs and in bad health overall and thus any high stress situation would cause him to have a heart attack. But BLM just jumped to the conclusion that it was injustice and it was only happening to blacks. Well, look at Tony Timpa.
With that, even after an investigation you have several things. One, if that is typical police practice then discussions should be considered in changing that. Or with Chauvin being found guilty it does not mean he was a racist. But even at that Floyd is all you have compared to the many times the police were in the right of doing the actions they did. Also, what does destroying private business help?

Being blunt this is where you are wrong. BLM was rioting and vandalizing private businesses that had nothing to do with policing in this nation. How does burning down a Wendy's lead to police reform? Also, BLM riots were going on for months. What happened on Jan. 6th was a one time event. And even at that, it was people angry at our government and they went after the government, not private businesses.
As for situations like "justice for George Floyd" or Breonna Taylor, the issue is that BLM is jumping to conclusion on these issues before there is an investigation and a trial. Look at Jakob Blake. There were riots over his shooting where evidence showed he was told by police to stop, he kept walking to his car, he opened his car door and got a knife and then was shot. However, riots started over him in the name of "injustice". BLM are wrong more times than they are correct on these issues, that is why many don't take them seriously. On the George Floyd situation, the knee on the neck look bad. However, he was high on drugs, he was in bad health and thus was at high risk of a heart attack. It does not mean what Derek did was correct. If it was typical police action then you look to change that, not punish Derek. And even if what he did was wrong does not mean it was an act of racism. Look up Tony Timpa, very similar situation.
So no, what BLM is doing is not just.
