I think what a lot of people forget is that the constitution protects the right to PEACEFULLY assemble. Once the police feel the assembly is no longer peaceful, they break it up ... which usually means using force.
If everyone is standing around singing hippie songs, no one gets hurt. When people are shouting, screaming, it becomes a powder keg, and all it takes is one little spark to set the whole thing off- resulting in a riot.
You just can't get that many people together who aren't even sure what they're pissed off about and expect good results.
