It was their choice of locations.
It was their violation of rules/laws and their refusal to move.
If it had been allowed to continue tomorrow would have been bigger and harder to control.
The escalation may not have happened during that particular protest or from those particular people, but the fact that it would not have stayed with those particular people and only during that particular time is what caused the hard response.
It's called nipping it in the bud, I'm sure you have heard of it, and probably used the same philosophy it in your own life from time to time.
It's a well known cop procedure.
