"Over politics" does some legwork for you here as does the singling out of you vs the entire cadre of EMS. Consider it, instead, that the police, as a whole, joined the protest which also had a decent amount of support from the populous.

If it was a single cop refusing to arrest a Nazi for a crime because they agreed with them, that cop would be fired.
