I think you said it yourself "you don't think they were risking their lives" but you didn't KNOW did YOU?? You can't run a police force under those conditions! Even if ONE of the dozen or so had a knife a police officer could have been killed! I think YOU should have broken up that demonstration, what do you think about that? You ought to be kissing your lucky ass we have police that are willing to risk their lives every day for us. PS It isn't a given that the police "have a propensity for excessive violence", don't know where you got that given all the arrests that take place every day without incident. (another subject though)
