The group said the city offered to settle with the protesters if they admitted their arrests were based on probable cause.

"Justify our actions for us and we'll let you go."

Maybe just don't arrest people who don't deserve it? The lack of a chain of evidence is concerning, but obviously points to there being no reason to detain these people.
