I am speaking not in legal terms, but in moral ones in this case. Those who have the conviction to protest in a purely non-violent way should never be put down by nonviolent means, even if it is for the good of the society to remove said persons from the scene to restore normal working order in the short term

How is confining/restraining people against their will without their consent a non-violent act?

Detainment without inflicting harm would be preferable to inflicting harm, and it will not breed violence if the protest is truly nonviolent (for at its root it is no less violent than the transportation of individuals)

... and having protestors who were lawful and peaceful is preferable to having the unlawful and violent protestors that are always associated with "progressive" protests

I should say not. People don't really understand non-violence, law-enforcement bodies often the least so.

Although i'm not sure i get at the point behind this particular post
