Police also like to crowd protesters into confined areas and then arrest them for not dispersing.

Police love to escalate peaceful protests into violent ones by making everything worse.

Kettling (also known as containment or corralling) is a police tactic for controlling large crowds during demonstrations or protests. It involves the formation of large cordons of police officers who then move to contain a crowd within a limited area. Protesters either leave through an exit controlled by the police, leave through an uncontrolled gap in the cordons, or are contained, prevented from leaving, and arrested.

Have respect for our people out in the field. They are the ones doing the good fight

Not that I would support it in any way, but that would be the perfect time for people to suicide bomb. Being crowded with a bunch of people would definitely lower the impact, but being slightly spread out, you might have a better chance of doing more damage.
