1) The child had a mask.
2) The protest was peaceful.
3) There were looters in another area but the police decided to shoot rubber bullets at the peaceful protesters instead.

I heard someone telling their tale of protesting in southern California. He described a scene in which police had their backs to and were ignoring looters and focusing their attention on peaceful protesters. He describe ways in which the crowd of protesters tried to cooperate with police and it resulted in them being hemmed in and gassed. I don't know how much of his tale was true, but if it was it is a disturbing image of a police force attacking individuals for exercising their rights and ignoring people breaking the law in order to do so.
