Well, the protesters are throwing large stones at the police. So , if we have the police throw the stones back to the protesters, that would fair, right?
So... Is it fair now for the protestors to shoot at the police?

Police are shooting at them. Even if they are just standing there...
Nothing is "fair" when violence breaks out. That's why everyone involved in the turmoil in the Ukraine should seek a peaceful solution.
But I would think that overall it would be better if the police and the protesters throw rocks at each other, instead, of for instance, shooting at each other, or burning down each others homes and neighborhoods. But an even better option is a political process.
Smart governments, and police and other security forces realize that violence against significant segments of their own people rarely works out, unless tyranny is their goal. Professional police and security forces in nations where the rule of law is important seek to reduce tensions and avoid further violence.
