I hope they arrest everyone that gets out of line.
You have a right to assemble peaceably and protest. Provided that you have obtained a city permit and are respectful of the law.
But no one can guarantee your safety or those around you and if you are violent, vandalize and are lawless you should be arrested.
1st Amendment - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
