These tables have turned for a long time now. Whatever police's motivations are, we now have so many recorded evidence of them starting the violence that it's hard to argue they still work under the base assumption of protecting the order.

You might still have faith in the police in general and believe those were just "bad apples" and these number of incidents we somewhat isolated, but the fact they happened still remains and won't be forgotten.

The gov explicitely chose to pass laws bypassing the parliament's vote, the parliament being composed by directly elected deputees.

Again, there can be many arguments but it's a far more complicated situation than "manifestants bad"
