We call someone foolish that brings a knife to a gun fight.

What do we call someone that brings a gun to a knife fight?

Overkill, intimidating, patriotic, overzealous, cheating, baiting, protectors (of what)?

Protesters are just trying to make a point. Vandals and criminals are what we have police for.
