It feels like there's some context missing here. Even Chicago police wouldn't just stand a row of cops in front of a Tesla dealer to "protect" it in the middle of the day. One squad and two officers tops would accomplish the same thing.
Probably a legal protest with an overblown police presence because they often get hazard, overtime and off duty bonuses. An hour at a protest can be worth effectively 4 so if a 10 hr protest happens they may actually make a work week of pay.
An Indivisible protest was planned. This reaction is absurd because Indivisible has always operated within the law.
