I was thinking the same thing... to me it's more likely we had people on the inside that ultimately wanted to support the cause (not for violence or any major damage) to prove a point. I feel like I could see the pain in many of the officers eyes where they didn't actually want to fight back because they supported what was happening.

If there is a chance for this, we should be cautious about calling attention to those of the police side that were actually on our side.
