A fine line must be had though. As important politics and the culture wars may be, Christians are supposed to hold God higher than everything else. Giving love to someone who doesn't love back would be to do what Jesus did, and not violently retaliating with fighting words against BLM protestors (if they're not going full-on riot mode, so take advantage of the times they aren't a riot) would be one step up against a movement that preaches vengeance and reparations instead of the Judeo-Christian values of loving your enemies and praying for those who persecute you.
Ultimately, I think this should be done on a case-by-case basis. Christians aren't supposed to be looking for a fight with the government (note that there's been rarely if ever a Christian-specific revolution in the Roman Empire), but if the government starts specifically decrying Judeo-Christian values, then they must take a stand.
I say nothing about fighting or violent resistance. Though I'm no longer religious, my background is a pacifist sect; so I'm well-aware that violence (whether perceived to be justified or not) is a complicated subject among Christians.
But I do think Christians are under no obligation to follow "orders" that prevent them from congregating. Especially while "services" for the official religion of "BLM progressivism" are allowed to take place in the street.
