Some have been held in areas that are banned and blood as flowed in the streets.
It's very simple. If an assembly is unseemingly in the minds of the power structure, they may use the force of the state to disperse it. The manor of dispersion may be unacceptable violent to the protesters.
If that is the case, the authorities do not want a reservoir of force to be in the hands of those who may be lawfully assembling.
Sounds a touch nutty but recall politicians of both parties have at times been worried and wanted gun bans around them. The point that a killer will break the law escapes them.
