Tbf they have to keep up the pretense.

They can't just do a Tiananmen when cameras are watching. (That why they'll do a no-knock warrant on the organizers after the protestors go home, then fatally shoot them for "resisting arrest", or "I fear for my life")

Also I think they are "Riot Police" or whatever that mean
