...and arrested on sight.

Cop: "Where are you from?"
Supporter: "California"
Cop: "You're under arrest"

I have to give it to the powers that be, they are slick when it comes to suppressing dissent and its quite shocking at how many people will help them do it.

There are lines of communication open between the people and the police. They are helping each other.

There is no "each other" or team work here. Its a one way street, they are helping the police achieve their goal of suppression and nothing more.
