It comes down to how intransigent the group is. Sometimes, you get ones willing to not be complete a-holes like the rodeo protesters. Someitmes, you get people who mix melodrama with narcissism, and you end up with something completely ridiculous like "extinction rebellion".
The cops could probably find any number of reasons to crack down on the disruption, but I suspect they feel that letting the kids play in traffic for one day will minimize the chances of a repeat.
