Why was the Boston Tea Party justified but not lootings of the more modern protests we’ve witnessed on the news?

It just seems hypocritical.

It is, and many revolutionaries have made exactly this point. For example, one big theme in Malcolm X is that Americans *lovveeee* the American Revolution and the whole "no taxation without representation" idea, or at least they claim to. But then when it comes to black people resisting the state for very similar reasons (e.g., the lack of political representation), they are demonized as extremists.
