Why did someone bring their kid to the only protest area in the city

I thought it was an office area?

Get this; people live in cities.

I know someone whose daughter is a particularly passionate teenager who enjoys going to protests. My friend long ago acknowledged the limits of forbidding his daughter from going to these things, and instead tends to go with her to protests. This openness has also had the beneficial side effect of his daughter trusting him more when he says "No, this one is too dangerous. I don't feel comfortable with you going, even with me". Despite trying to stay away from anything too dicey, I know there have been instances where things have escalated quicker than expected and they've been caught in the fray.

These guys aren't American, so it isn't directly relevant here, but my point is that someone being there with their child isn't too outlandish.

Because if you actually watch footage from the ground, they've been incredibly safe and peaceful. Up until the cops decide to escalate for literally no reason.
