Because protestors out number enforcers 10+ to 1 and the protestors prohibit the movement of law enforcers to get to crime scenes in a timely fashion? From law enforcement perspective, all protestors are the same: trouble.

There are limitations on assembly: see

A meeting of three or more individuals to commit a crime or carry out a lawful or unlawful purpose in a manner likely to imperil the peace and tranquillity of the neighborhood.

Lawful assembly requires declaring a time and place of the protest and the city accommodates them. None of that happening lately.

He did. He approached the officers and attempted to engage with him. They did their job and drove him away.
