Now the charge is trespassing instead of open carry? I see.

The Travis County D.A.'s office did not like the message they were communicating plain & simple.
I disagree with you on other points but I agree with this. If they thought a real crime was being committed, they wouldn't have given the protestors a chance to pack up and go home quietly. Bank robbers don't get a free pass to take the money and run. On the other hand, if the objective is silencing the protestors, getting them to leave under their own power accomplishes that goal.
