Who do you expect the protestors to square off against when it's the police whom are put in front of them. Do our political leaders go beat the shit out of each other when two countries wanna fight? Na they let the army do that.

Domestically it's the Police that do the biding for the powers that be and they are stuck right in the middle because the powers that be aren't gonna go down there and talk to the protestors. Meanwhile the Police are supposed to protect and serve the people. Yet who writes their pay checks?

Regardless the cops are in a tough situation but there is no call for actions like that. TBH I wish that crowd would have beat the shit out of those cops over that because no one has accept being beaten by a cop or anyone else like that.
