> Just in Chicago at least 17 people were killed during the protests.

And how many by the protestors?

> As far as I can tell no one was killed at the hands of the police (after protests started)

Note that shooting someone isn't the only form of violence possible. Escalating by firing rubber bullets or tear gassing or driving your car into peaceful protestors are all violence, and I've seen tens, maybe a hundred examples of that at this point.

We don't know if they were all "protestors" but at least not the police: https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/16-dead-at-least-30-pe...

From your article: "the police and National Guard were shot at first and that the shots that killed McAtee were fired in response", and that they weren't part of the protests.

It seems rioters exhibited a disproportionate amount of violence compared to police though.

Incorrect. Mcatee was part of a peaceful group. The police fired indiscriminately into that group after someone else fired on them.

In fact, we don't know if any of them were protestors, so your insistence to relate the two groups is odd.
