What chaos? The scene shown in the video looks really calm, with one protester, several reporters, and a very large number of police standing around apparently doing nothing more than looking intimidating at that moment.

Perhaps chaos isn't the best word. Hightened tension is more appropriate.

Heightened tension is not an excuse to arrest someone. Police (in theory) exist to lower tension, not add to it.
