It should be noted these are State Troopers, who basically follow Abbott's orders these days, and are always itching to put on a show for the cameras, eg the one above. APD ~~and UTPD~~ don't seem to be involved in this.
Edit: UTPD was involved:
From everything I've seen, this was a peaceful, mobile protest that caused no disruptions until the police caused disruptions.
