There seems to be a developing liberal narrative, that the police are being too hard on the rioters.
In this particular case, the claim is that they were peaceful protesters, and not violent at the moment they were pushed back to create the security perimeter.

“There seems to be a developing liberal narrative, that the police are being too hard on the rioters.”
That’s been the Anarchists’ strategy for at least 100 years. Keep escalating the vandalism and violence, until you get a strong-enough police response to garner the sympathy of the masses. It’s a real dilemma for political leaders.
