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.

I would like to add that if you defend yourself the police will see it as violence and you won't just be arrested but you'll end up in jail
