Nope, you misunderstand the nature of the situation.
Police operate with the consent of the populace. Even though it seems otherwise, they simply don't have the ability to contain large-scale, organized disobediance.
Call if cowardice or call it respect for the rule of law, but when Convoy protestors were arrested, everyone else allowed the police to do their job. If the mob had moved against police in earnest, there would have been no arrests, even with the thugs they brought in.
The people in the video are useful idiots that fail to understand that, if the law collapses, they'll be the first to be torn apart, followed closely by the blood of the innocent.
Peaceful protesting got them Mounties trampling on women in wheelchairs to show dominance, as police enjoy doing whenever they can.
Had the protestors actually stopped the police, they only would have come back later in more numbers, and armed. If any protestors escaped, the government would have put out APBs on everyone they could identify like the FBI did with the Jan 6 protestors, showing their pictures on national TV so their neighbors would report them for arrest. Then they would have been locked in prison for 2 years without trial until a judge finally rules, "Hey you guys didn't really have a reason to break up that protest."
The police know all of this is on the table when they choose to break up a protest by white conservatives, and they want to make sure know the protestors know. It's a deterrent.
There's a limit to how many people you can kill. History shows that time and again. The question is whose is greater, the government's will to murder or the people's will to stand up for themselves.
Remember in the US when neighborhoods armed up to fight the BLMers in 2020, and the cops finally left them alone and the riots died? There was violence and economic sabotage worldwide as weeks before COVID suddenly stopped being an issue. Whites win they stand together and use force.
BLM got driven from neighborhoods and stopped rioting when they realized they'd get bucked. Besides, notice how little black history month there was this year compared to usual?

I call it a collective action problem.

BLM didn't win because they were using violence, but because the ruling class is on its side.
