Except that 1) This is for Trump to get his photo op, not for a diplomatic summit, 2) Protesters can still protest in public areas near the building where summits happen, and 3) This suppression used violent, brutal tactics i.e. shooting rubber bullets, smoke bombs, militarized agents going around beating protesters and even journalists.
Diplomatic summits basically are photo ops
