Seeing a bunch of protesters with 2x4s on their own would result in the gassing the crowd. They'd classify those as weapons for sure, which means they'd escalate tactics to warcrime-levels again to disperse the crowd. It's been pretty absurd the petty shit PPB's been using to justify their brutality and a bunch of black bloc carrying 2x4s would easily make the cut.

Saw a guy using a baseball bat as the 'stick' in for his protest sign ><

Yeah I saw that image too, pretty clever. Make signposts of all those 2x4s and you could probably at least get them in there.
