All for bail money

Of course.
If 1000 protesters are armed with Ak 47, grenades , and anti-tank weapons , government will be forced to negotiate with them.
Massive uprisings against government will consume security agents in 72 hours. It would be anarchy. Majority of security agents have low IQ, they do not know how to manage orders from their superiors.
