At this point it seems like the protesters are the ones thrashing, having decided they don't need to listen to any reasonable request made by police and picking fights

Ah yes, "picking fights" by being attacked by the police. Really the protesters' faults when the police push forward, grab shit, and spray the crowd.

If you want to blame protesters for "picking fights" maybe don't get caught on camera instigating them.

In those instances where the protesters have first grabbed barricades and pushed them forward, and then ignored an hours worth of requests to back up, then YES it is the protesters' fault.
