Even worse. The police has both the authority and the budget to:
Test candidates before they hire them as cops.
Train their cops.
Discipline the violent cops.
Protest organizers can’t do these things. Anyone who wants to join the protest just needs to arrive at the appointed time and place, and if they behave badly - the ones allowed to punish them are not the protest organizers but the police.

And, whats more, is that if your in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Texas, the protest organizer, too, gets punished for the bad behavior of others.
It’s also worse because it’s violence of the oppressor vs violence of the oppressed.
