Just as a side note, when I’m at a demonstration where people are throwing bottles at cops, I’m leaving. Demonstration over. New! Improved! Riot beginning.
If bottles were thrown it was in reaction to the police hitting the demonstratos with batons and punching peaceful participants holding a banner, you can see the videos in the article. As to what triggered the punching? A chant in Arabic condemning Israel.
Your comment makes it sound like things turned into a “riot” for no reason and that the repression was justified.
Usually bottles are thrown after the cops start attacking and by this point you might not be able to leave easily anymore as you are probably surrounded.

What if you demonstrate against the growing authoritarian and fascist regimes? The ones that have power over the police?
My opinion is that in such cases bottles are ok, but they should contain a flammable liquid and an accompanying flame.
