"a leader who reacts to his citizens uniting in the streets by making it illegal to unite in the streets is in for a bad time and should know it."

I've noticed a trend in protests in state violence/repression which seems to simply throw gas on the fire. What I am, unfortunately, ignorant about is major protests which have not been answered with legal sanctions and violence. Do you know of any examples where protests have been quelled using other methods?
