Why do protesters rarely defend themselves? (lemmygrad.ml)

When I see footage of protesters they mostly get tackled, tear gassed, or chased off. And in no way have I ever see them with a gun, knife, or any other form of defense to protect themselves.

Interestingly the cops have basically admitted it's an arms race and you should stop arming up; I recall advice by a cop telling protestors not to wear body armor, that every time protesters come back with more defenses, the more armed the cops are going to have to be.
