I am not aware of a single "liberal" who got upset about that at all.
The problem might be that you either don't know what a liberal is, or that you don't know how people use the term in everyday life.
You saw a mildly critically post from a soccer mom. We get it, you think you're morally righteous and anyone with a slightly different opinion is an evil LiBeRaL

There you go, now you can be aware. This article includes quotes from Biden, Clyburn, Lightfoot, Wheeler, and Pelosi condemning property destruction. (Pelosi's quote is about the 2017 Berkeley protests though)
Here is a followup about Dems distancing themselves from the George Floyd protests more recently.

Seems to me if this was about politicians, the word Democrats would've been used. It never occurred to me at all that this was regarding politicians, since the party name is universally how they would be spoken about.
Sorry, took your comment about the 'soccer mom' as an indication you wanted to hear about party officials over lay people
No it was really just to illustrate that if they heard that it was some random one off case which wasn't common. I was thinking of it as being some Facebook rando whose politics got assumed because of some signal that didn't necessarily mean anything
