I believe the plan of the “protesters” was to drive to the suburbs to continue “protesting,” in which deflating the tires of the kind folk who were merely letting the public “share in their grief” by looting and burning businesses and government buildings, deflating tires, was one way to prevent that from happening.

If said “peacefully protesting” was moving to neighborhoods, breaking down doors and windows, looting and setting fire, where law abiding citizens were fearful of continued violence witnessed on television by the “peaceful protesters,” preventing such movement without physical confronting the “protesters,” was worthwhile. Certainly as law enforcement was told to “stand down” for the “protesters,” preventing movement was one choice to make that happen.
