Curious you could not find a better pic. What I see there is one protester being arrested while 50 people in the background film it.

An seriously speaking, protesting in most developed countries is widely admitted - not if it carries violence. We have all seen people arrested in the Red Square for holding a white sheet of paper.

Its not a problem to find a video, thousands of it actually...i just put pic instead because
forum cant properly embed video (for people lazy to click). Here you go

That's what the police force was created for, to squash labour protests and to chase down run away slaves.

The police original purpose is to allow the rule of law, this includes preventing riots and protest that turn into violent mobs or riots - that would be something unsustainable for any society. If you argue that they overstep, I agree. If you are saying that the police in totalitarian regimes have the same response and accountability that in country with rule of law, that is not true.
