I don't know why local police give a damn about what people are protesting about. Purely unprofessional for them to even care, but some protest topics just hit a nerve, I guess.
All that armor they are wearing. They should just put on Star Wars storm trooper outfits. I think they invented those costumes first.

They do it for the psychological effect. They always wear black, appear as large as possible (armor helps with that), and they are made to look as much alike as possible in order to appear as an impersonal machine.
Their armor isn't totally bulletproof.
I dont see this incident as a bad thing. Some people need to see how the pigs act in real life and not from hollywood. So not only are the people involved affected, but now their family, co-workers and friends know, the people that see the video know, and word spreads from there.
The pigs lose every time they pull shit like this.

Yes they do.
Thinking on the star wars costume, a bunch of people should show up at one of these protests dressed like that to mock the cops. That might be kinda cool. Make a media event out of it where viewers can contrast the Hollywood stormtroopers with the real thing.
