6. Bingo. And not just these protestors
Police are taught that their population is the enemy. Everyone is a potential perp, and it is their job to prove their innocense to cops, who due to the way the system works, have no incentive to assume innocence anyway. A false bust is stil la bust and looks good on their record. Throwing innocent people in the clink "by mistake" just makes them look like energetic go-getters who are serious about their job.

Which is a fundamental fucking problem with police i nthe United States. They are the only public service profession that gets paid to treat people poorly.
