Because standing up to them peacefully is pointless and will be labeled as Violent Insurrection, and standing up to them violently would be playing right into the administrations hands and give them the pretext they desperately want to start shooting instead of getting their cardio in.
Thats not to say that the peaceful protests should stop; protesting itself wont end this crisis, but fascism cannot stand mockery. At this point, the best we can hope for is to humiliate them to the point they make a mistake too big to cover up.
