It's not ironic, it's planned. They know that the police will protect them, just as they know that by doing so it undermines the faith of regular people in the police (rightly so in some cases). By undermining that faith they undermine the peoples ability to trust the institutions that are nominally supposed to be protecting them, leading to social unrest, civil disobedience, and potentially sparking into outright riots.
This is what these Antifa assholes and the people backing them want, to stir the pot as much as possible and make everyone hate each other, because the more chaotic the situation and the more heated things get the more opportunities they will have to commit violence, arson, and worse and get away with it. They don't give two shits that hiding behind the police makes them into hypocrites, because they are either so indoctrinated that they cannot see the hypocrisy themselves, or because they're so fanatical that they're willing to do it anyway because it's a useful method for shielding themselves from consequences, knowing that if anyone from the opposing side tries to start anything that the cops will be obligated to arrest the instigators. Antifa WANTS to bait patriots into taking the first shot when police are around, just like Antifa never tries to do anything themselves until they can pick people off from the crowd.
This is insurgent and color revolution tactics 101, and Antifa is absolutely getting support from agencies and organizations that want to cause as much disruption as possible, because they literally want a civil war to happen so that they can try to cause a violent overthrowing of the current government, and attempt to split up the US and weaken it both internally and internationally.
As agents of the State block them to protect the violent communist revolutionary Antifa wing of the democrat party.
So ironic seeing ANTIFA hide behind the police. Fucking pussy ass faggots.

don't talk about the police that way /s
I'm starting to realize when they say to "serve and protect" they are talking about protecting the swamp.
Fun fact the police have no obligation to serve or protect you.
