Here is a rip from a longer piece: “Researchers have spent 50 years studying the way crowds of protesters and crowds of police behave—and what happens when the two interact. They will tell you that when the police respond by escalating force—wearing riot gear from the start or using tear gas on protesters—it doesn’t work. The disproportionate police force is one of the things that can make a peaceful protest not so peaceful.”
