Subtle, they were not. But that's fucking brilliant!

"We’re constantly told, you know, we need to see peaceful protests. Well, here’s a peaceful protest … We projected a piece of journalism on to a wall and now people have been arrested for malicious communications."

If the people do peaceful protests to not get arrested, and they get arrested anyway, there's no longer an incentive to continue protesting peacefully.
