You're right that they didn't initially. However, his reaction to them worsened the situation and, IMO, caused them to last a lot longer than they otherwise would have because they morphed into being about a broader systemic issue. If he hadn't embodied said systemic issue through his words and actions during the riots, I think they would have stopped earlier than they did.
