Do you think that western police forces are increasingly being used by politicians?
To control the populations ie suppressing demonstrations and generally interfering with personal freedoms and opinions, and are being less used to catch criminals.
In Great Britain these days the police have more power over the public than the police did in communist Russia. Increasingly more money is spent on equipping and paying police officers than is being spent on equipping and paying members of our armed forces.
More disturbingly our police forces are being used indirectly to protect the interest of big business, not the interests of the general public.
Have politicians and police officers that work for them forgotten who pays their wages?

They aren't.
They are being used to ensure that the protesters obey the law and respect the rights of other people.
If the people doing the protests simply have some consideration for the rights of other people (not blocking access, not damaging other people's property) then they would not have a problem with the law.
Can somebody explain to me why protesters tend to think that they are above the law?

They have become private armies serving the politicians who serve the new plutocracy's rulers.
