You shouldn't be worried about being attacked by police at a peaceful protest on a closed road. The role of police in a peaceful protest is to prevent escalation, but all they've done is incite it.

But if he was just driving along and rounded a corner to a human road block he shouldn't be in trouble.

If that was my son murdered, especially by the authorities, there would be absolute hell to pay until justice prevails. You see, in a democracy governments hold office. Not power. People hold the power. You, me and the world are witnessing people using their power to fight for justice and the moment your military shoots another innocent civilian, the military have lost the war!

Fun fact: during the civil rights movement in the 60s, people protested in areas that were famous for extreme police brutality. And they brought children along as well. Children were hit with hoses and dogs, and the photos of these police being extremely brutal to the little kids enraged the nation and caused the movement to take off like never before.

Someone who breaks the law is often referred to as a criminal. mnDot closed the freeway so, BY LAW, no motor vehicles were allowed on it.
