Where I’ve been to protests which had hired security guards packing guns protecting protesters

Basically cops want you to be disarmed, you're easier to harm.

Plenty of people who will get paid to hurt unarmed people, but not a lot willing to die for that same paycheck.

Not the best example. Right-wing gun nuts are cop-adjacent if not cops themselves. Let's see how an amed BLM or antifa or anti-ICE rally goes.

The cops do not want an armed populous, and those 20k people who were armed during that protest where not cops.
