Biden addressed the protests, and asserted both the right to peacefully protest, and the need for rule of law. So far so, so good.

I do think he erred in not addressing violence against Gaza protesters, specifically the UCLA attack. As President, he must assert the rule of law in all cases.

That said, his mostly hands-off approach is drawing an important distinction between himself and Trump. We all remember how Trump responded to the Black Lives Matter protests: Calling for them to be shot, sending secret police to round them up, and using the military to clear them out for a photo op
