Where do you get that idea from?

The number of protests is not about to decline anytime soon. There are numerous protests all over my state right now about government worker pension cuts and I have yet to hear of any incident of riot police or anything. I've also been to Washington D.C. a fews year back and witnessed a massive immigration protest. Again no riot police or anything. Not to mention that with the current state of polarized politics over here, protests have been happening right and left.
