They are afraid of people yelling, holding signs, and putting up graffiti, to kill a cop, kill all cops. Afraid of people kicking, hitting them. Turning over their police cars. Burning down, destroying, and looting businesses, even when customers and employs are there. They're scared of the bricks being thrown at them. Glass bottles flying at their heads. The children in the homes behind their barricade. The citizens who can't get through the area and home to their children. The parents who can go to work to support their families, because their job isn't there anymore or the roads are blocked. The cops have all been theatened with death - what would you do? I personally don't care what color or class the protesters are, If I was a cop, I'd be at the same point. Let's not forget, the cops aren't all in town officers, they've been brought in because the department needed help, so if it wasn't cops dressed/armed this way, it would be the national guard. When the national guard comes in, it will look much worse.
