If I was getting beat with a baton or maced unnecessarily, I'd personally want to get a photo and video of the idiot cop that did it (or even better - in the act of doing it). And it's usually the social media crowd that can help identify these people. Too many times have cops used overbearing force on protestors, and I can look no further than Brazil as the latest example.
That said, if a protester is doing something illegal, then they shouldn't be able to cover their face either.
