    The big difference is that now when the protesters level charges of physical abuse they’ve got footage of the event and the damage it left on them.

    Neither the national guard nor staties should ever be called up simply to dislocate protesters - if it turns violent or there are rabid counter-protesters then I can understand… but mere obstruction doesn’t warrant violence.
