Why do protesters rarely defend themselves? (lemmygrad.ml)

When I see footage of protesters they mostly get tackled, tear gassed, or chased off. And in no way have I ever see them with a gun, knife, or any other form of defense to protect themselves.

Totally agree with you, this stuff seems to happen much less at demonstrations where there is an organized group with some security plan.
