Bruh, that high ranking cop ain't on the front lines to keep protestors under control, it's to keep the cops under control...
He isn't there because he wants to be, it's from pressure of the city government who are doing it because they're getting pressure from the DNC.
And he knows if he's not physically there, cops are gonna cop.
How crazy would it be tho if we found out he really was an early adopter, had one put it in a decade ago, and that's why he's so bat shit now?
