It wasn't the demonstrations that turned violent, but rioters following the demonstrations – unfortunately, the press seems unwilling to make that distinction.
The organisers had explicitly called for peaceful demonstrations. He're the initiative’s key demands, which are anything but revolutionary:

Germany's youth initiative Gen Z regelt has called for nationwide protests amid growing frustration over education and climate inaction. While some politicians fear France-style violence, sociologists point out key differences. DW's Jens Thurau examines the debate:
Gen Z protests in Germany: Is France-style violence looming?
Young people in Germany will take to the streets this weekend to demand education and action on climate change. Politicians warn that the protests could become violent, as in France, but the situation...

Gen Z helped organize and sustain enormous protest movements, including the George Floyd demonstrations and the Gaza campus protests. Depicting them as politically inert erases a substantial & exceptionally well-documented history of youth activism and also just fucking irritates me on their behalf.
