For me the answer is easy, I oppose violence in nearly all situations. I oppose war, I oppose the death penalty, I oppose guns, and I oppose police violence.

There are many others however that do support violence against oppressed populations yet condemn violence by the oppressed when they fight back. Those people deserve to be called out.
