The thing is that this isn't just happening because of their status as cops. It's because they were likely in the act of doing the very thing that caused the protests. They are not cops sitting at home, they're cops out there cracking down on protesters. It's hard to argue that's an innocent act. As I said before, they still shouldn't have been blinded. However, they are the very federal agents escalating the conflict. They're the ones turning this into a Rage Against The Machine music video.

If the cops were doing something they shouldn't have been doing, then we can call this a case of stupid games and stupid prizes. If this was a protestor seeing a cop and blinding them because of their affiliation as a cop, I don't see that as justified.

In any event, the act of blinding someone isn't something to be celebrated. I'd blind someone in a fight if it was the only way to prevent a rape or a murder. But I wouldn't raise my hands in the air and feel accomplished in what I'd done. I think I'd be more likely to have recurring dreams of hollow eye sockets starring back at me.
