I remember when the Klan used to rally in Ann Arbor. The only place in town they could do it was on the roof of city hall. Hundreds of cops. Two 30 ft. chain link fences, one around the city hall grounds and one surrounding a designated counter-protest area that you had to be searched to get into. Two years the counter-protest had to be dispurdsed with tear gas. One other year, despite the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent by the city, the wife of the main klansman got hit by a brick and they sued.
All so 8 klansmen could stand around in their hoods on top of city hall. But given this I guess it's a good thing they took all these precautions.
