When the BLM marches happened in New Orleans you hardly saw any cops. Where were they? Always a block away directing traffic away from the marchers to prevent congestion. New Orleans has huge events year round with people parading through the streets making NOPD particularly adept at crowd control. They just left the protesters alone and routed everybody around them.
I marched ever day for a week and there wasn't a single act of violence on either side.
