Why do protesters rarely defend themselves? (lemmygrad.ml)

When I see footage of protesters they mostly get tackled, tear gassed, or chased off. And in no way have I ever see them with a gun, knife, or any other form of defense to protect themselves.

Protesters already barely have the support of their fellow ~~liberals~~ Americans, if the guns come out, even despite being in self defense, they'll lose even that negligible support they optimistically speaking probably (maybe) had.
