The better part of valor ... apparently, they forgot to give that badge-wielding public servant a Tommy-gun.
I can just hear that bludgeon-wielding demonstrator (who may or may not be a goon) shouting; "Night stick ... night stick? I'll show you a High Noon stick, pig!"
Of course, law enforcement in the States is just as likely to slaughter (or just about as bad, permanently cripple) a few dozen demonstrators (some of the less threatening ones) -- a-la Kent State/Apartheid-Wall, Palestine -- than choosing the less-traveled path of letting everybody live a little longer while searching for a dialog.
To paraphrase R. Kennedy, without peaceful change (for the better ... a rather slippery definition), you eventually incite violent revolution.
