Looks like unorganised panic,such a quantity of cops and such a bad bad execution and i see none in the wave of cops that is kinda directing things.

These ones are apparently military police. You'd think they would be better organized. Even if they had to be called in all of a sudden, I don't know how anyone there thought it was a good idea to do that.

And this is them trying to be on their best behavior.
They know that everyone is watching them extra carefully for brutality and excessive force. And yet they still keep doing it.

Because "support the troops" has been indoctrinated in our heads from the cradle, and if you don't blindly support the troops, you're an enemy of the state and the people. Many people who profess to hate the government and think it is evil blindly worship the two parts of the government whose job it is to kill people who won't do what the government tells them, whether at home (the police) or overseas (the military).

Fun fact: Conservatives in 1970 overwhelmingly approved of the Kent State shooting.
