From what I saw on the news, the protest wasn't particularly peaceful and law-abiding and they openly stated (the protesters) that they are going to up their game to prevent drilling; so if arrests happened, they only have themselves to blame - even some of the locals said they didn't mind the protest if it remained a peaceful one but it didn't so some of the locals declined to support the protesters.
