Another way to frame this is that the overwhelming majority of "protests" are actually pep rallies. You'll show up, cheer for the team, and head home without even a whiff of danger or violence.
If it turns into an active protest, people will defend newbies and start to teach them what to do quickly

If you’ve never been to a protest and you’re watching coverage with trepidation, I urge you—if you can—to challenge yourself to turn out for one. There’s anger, for sure, but the overwhelming feeling is joy in your community, admiration of your neighbors, and the real power of numbers.

There are degrees of “B”, is all I’m saying here. Know your local B’s and figure risk accordingly.
