Some of them also seem to honestly believe that they can convince the police to change sides and fight for them.

There are videos of police subduing people, but that's when the line moves forward, and then they #### around and find out. They've been given no shortage of warnings they are there illegally, and will be arrested. Watching the lines move forward, it looks like the last thing these police want to do is arrest people, and it's always the last resort moment where someone gets taken.
