41. Possibly, though they are not that good for the purpose either

Except the pepper spraying one. The top one doesn't have obvious cops in it. The bottom one could be an auto accident or anything. The two girls could be putting on a show.

Large crowds are going to have occurrences. If there were no cops there, as I've said before, and someone got hurt, I bet you'd be trashing the cops for not being there. Are you really so convinced that because the marchers' motives are good, they will not attract to their crowd a single person with other motives, or someone dumb enough to do something stupid?

The cops are there to protect them - that there are bad cops, as there as bad every things, does not change that.
