This is a question The Police II

Enzyme asks: Have you ever been arrested? Been thrown down the stairs by the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad, with hi-LAR-ious consequences? Or maybe you're a member of the police force with chortlesome anecdotes about particularly stupid people you've encountered.
Do tell.

And in answer to your hair splitting:
Of course protesters are a disparate bunch. They're not, for example, a national institution with its own uniforms, ranks, command structures and tactics to use on the day. Protesters are ordinary citizens, drawn from whichever demographic feels aggrieved on that particular occasion. The police are, by comparison, a highly-trained and supposedly disciplined practically-paramilitary force. And they're supposed to be held to a standard. Which part of that don't you get?

No no. We're talking generalisations here.
If we're going to generalise about members of the police force, by the same token we should be able to generalise about people who protest/go on demos.

Otherwise it looks suspiciously like a double standard employed through the motivation of bias in order to demonise the perceived enemy, as opposed to objective analysis.

And yes, I am aware that this is B3ta.

Okay, let's say all protesters are exactly the same
Yet the police treat some of them differently to others, depending on circumstance or whim

Police are still cunts in the final analysis

And thus, likewise, regardless of how they're treated by the police
Protesters are cunts as well.
