The aim is to frighten off the nice people and give the impression to the world that there's a small bunch of trouble makers and the rest of us are really happy with what Gordon and Dave have in store for us.
Thus is peace and liberty and freedom maintained. Don't believe it. Ask yourself whether the police are protecting you, the citizen, or the *****s who screwed the world up in the first place and gave you the bill.
Of course, it's quite probable that some of the protesters are actually police on the inside...

We do see these protests occur in other places though, They do get a bit rowdy and over the top. This has occurred in many countries
