Sorry, I do not believe the police in uniform are the ones who start the fight. Not in my (democratic) country, at least.
Instead, you need to announce a permit for a demonstration. If you don't have one, the police will tell you to leave the premise. If you fail to comply, you might get arrested, even if you don't use violence. But the part where protestors fail to comply with (reasonable and legal) instructions by the police is the part you omit.
Whereas I never got into trouble with the police. Partly because I got the popular skin colour, gender, etc but also because I know when to be obedient and sincere. I can only recommend the same. Pick your battles!

Or else, you would see police initiating physical violence against a group of otherwise non-violent protesters. In a brutal dictatorship, violent suppression of dissent is direct and obvious. In your democratic country it is hidden among "reasonable and legal" stages; this keeps the Good Citizens [1] obedient and sincere. ---- [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_German https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_German
