My 'phone ran out of charge! I think it switched off to stop me posting.
Like you, I wish this issue could be resolved peacefully.
But it hasn't been 70 years
after the civil rights movement in the US started. So, I think the violence is completely understandable and represents the frustrations of people who feel they have no other choice.
You say violence doesn't solve anything, but that's clearly not correct. There are many movements throughout history that have used violence successfully to oppose and remove oppression. The US itself is
founded on violent, armed struggle, arguably against an oppressive Imperialist Great Britain and, arguably, in the name of some form of greater freedom.
