OK thanks, so it sounds like you're saying that if the government allows even small peaceful protests, these could turn into larger ones that threaten the existing power structures, therefore protests should not be permitted at all?
I'm saying it's a complicated issue and no simplistic approach is going to work all of the time. I'm sorry I can't give you a grand unified theory about how governments should handle protestors.
