    A percentage is a ratio of two numbers, in this case you are trying to compare

    ^People who engaged in violence and were convicted at one protest^/~People who were at that protest~

    with

    ^Number of protest events that became violent^/~Number of protest events for this cause~

    To compare that you will have to wait a few years for all of the court cases to wind down. Hope that helps.

    EDIT: Format
