Three has to be funds moving around!
This whole paid protest is the mercenary force paid to protect the sources of the fraud that feeds the DNC and the Minnesota government in high offices. It is there not only to distract from the fraud, which it has done, effectively ($1.5 million to the one who can get them a martyr to wave), but to derail Federal attempts to investigate that fraud network while the trail is being scrubbed clean of tracks.
This isn't just street theater, it is a desperate rearguard action, using all the useful idiots, paid organizers and actors, and every trick in the book to keep the heat off long enough to destroy the evidence of fraud, money laundering, and cover operations from the highest office in Minnesota on down, because it was one of many, if not the flagship operation to illegally transfer funds from your pocket and mine to their "cause".
This is the theft of the millennium, and they are willing to go scorched earth to keep it.
Water cannons, now. Wet them down. It's cold and miserable, but nonlethal, and it will get them off the streets.
