You cannot put this all on the Police, they are only so many and if the crowds on both sides are big they will not have enough personnel. The thing about these groups is once they go violent, then they place themselves in the position to be shut down, denied rights to public protest or assemble. Now the key is if the other side had the opportunity would they plant people to commit violence in the name of the other side.  Oh the games we can play once regulations starts flying around.

Well I do blame the police. It's their job to prevent this from happening and they know beforehand when a protest will happen. If it's a big crowd then send in more cops.

So you blame the police for not having enough people to police a large group of people because it's somehow their job to be in multiples places at once. Somehow the police magically knows how many people will show up and how much manpower they will need to police a large area when they are already shorthanded.

I believe you really need to think this through a little more.  Blame is always easy to throw around unless you fully know the situation.  It would be much easier if the police just deny the rights you just told Pemalite these groups have and not let the protest happen at all since there is no way to know how many people will show up to these things.  It's not like there is a poster with the numbers advertised somewhere, especially since a lot of people can come from out of town.
