The violence done by the more powerful entity - the police and the state - to the less powerful entity is so normalized, so banal, so expected, as to not even be discernible, not even visible. But angry resistance to that violence, coming from the less powerful and directed at the more powerful, is automatically understood as disruptive, dangerous, electric. The upset of power dynamics creates chaos.
