It's probably a version of deliberately showing up in riot gear when it's not needed. One person throws a water bottle, knowing it won't hurt the armoured shock troops, and they use it as a justification for using the equipment in the first place and whatever insanely violent retribution they dish out. They're probably desperate for someone to try something ineffectual to justify a new wave of violence and cry for new laws preventing the identification of police officers like they passed in Spain and the police are pushing for here in the UK.
Literally like how children think the world works, "does the man who makes the ice cream live here?" No, but according to the state the police live where they work
Convenient way to make sure everything is handled internally by their own department and any cop willing to pull another over / arrest them can't get personal details for an investigation.

In some states in the US, cops can get their drivers license with their station's address instead of their home address.
Or, in other words, a fake ID, but it's legit and from the government.
