So you're saying a fundamental part of democracy is that it's ok to oppress minorities?

This wasn't addressed at me, but anyway. That's one of the weaknesses of democracy, and it's called tyranny of the majority. As long as there's democracy, there will be tyranny of the majority. They're fundamentally together, whether you like it or not. Democracy sucks, but as far as I know, every other form of government sucks even more.

Based on that definition they failed at their jobs then. It was because of the police that there was no order...

You obviously have something against the police, so I'm not sure if I should continue.

So just because millions of people do something illegal together ...makes it okay? No reason for the police to intervene? Completely illogical.
You know there's always (at least) two groups that clash, right? Both have their points, but in the end the police is the authorized entity to enforce the law and when the other side ignores that, there will be consequences.

If millions do something illegal, that's a huge societal issue that needs to be dealt with - and probably relatively quickly. At that point, it doesn't even matter if it's illegal or not, but suppressing illegal activity of such scale using force becomes pretty difficult without making the lives of millions of people miserable. If millions do something illegal, it sounds more like a problem in the way things are rather than in what the people are doing.
