I say keep going hard with the protests and use any lawful peaceful means available to help your disagreement with what is happening get heard!

Well put.
It isn't the protests per se that are the problem here. In fact, the ability of people to protest freely is a sign of a healthy democracy.
The problem is when those protests involve harming people, smashing shops, burning cars and attacking police. Then they need to be shut down, the offenders arrested, and those who still wish to, can go out and peacefully march again.
