Do you condemn the actions of the 'peaceful protesters' in the video?

In the video? Yes. What about the arrest of the peaceful protesters?

Do you think that a democratic state can survive if this kind of violent protest is tolerated?

Yes. Protests and demonstrations are happening in free countries, peaceful/civil and sometimes violent. Do you think that Trump is somehow blind on the right eye of the violent spectrum from "Proud boys" to "Ku klux clan" and their actions? There is a difference between violent protests and terrorism, although Trump prefers to lump it all together and blame it all on the big bad
wolf ANTIFA!
"Trump’s announcement on antifa “came as a surprise,” one European security official said. Short for anti-fascist, antifa is more of a loosely defined movement, unlike many far-right groups, which “have not only argued for violent acts against Jews, African Americans and others, but who have acted upon it,” the official said".
From the
Washington Post, but quote is from a frustrated european agency.

Do you think that those who can do something about it, Mayor Ted Wheeler, but don't are derelict in their duty?

Well i admit i do not live there, so i have to rely on information from the media. I condemn violence, but they show more violence vids from incidents than peaceful protesters that have obviously been demonstrating for 50 days, because of sensationalism.
Could it be that the law and order "policy" has something to do with upcoming elections, diversion from a certain virus and its handling, to having it "all under control" and pretending to be the law-and-order abiding man-of-the-street citizen (which Trump is not).
Instead of de-escalation and bringing the situation back to normal with other means than fire and suppression. The mayors said they have it under control, so let them do their thing. They will call for help if they think it is necessary.
