The vandals were just vandals who wanted to ruin something someone else did.

Here is my question - If a permit was given to paint BLM (they did it legally), and people who threw paint on the street are considered vandals because they wanted to ruin something, then why aren't all the "protesters" who are pulling down and defacing statues also arrested and charged with vandalism? Aren't they also vandals, just like the people that threw paint on BLM?
Why are some defacing acts tolerated, yet others are arrested and considered vandalism?
