I've been thinking the same thing for the past several weeks.
After watching the live feed of the previous council meeting, where several people claimed how "afraid" they are of the police, and after juxtaposing their comments with the actions from many of the so-called "protesters" - I haven't seen anyone who is "afraid" of the police.
What I've seen (via the various live feeds of the so-called protests and city council meetings) are immature, willfully ignorant people who have no respect for the law, no respect for those who have sworn to enforce the law, and no respect for anyone who dares to disagree with their immature, willfully ignorant opinions and actions.
In particular: at the recent attempt to shut down the highway, I didn't see anyone afraid of the police. What I saw was a bunch of defiant, ill-informed ignoramuses whose actions wasted untold thousands of tax-payer dollars.
