Methinks there's some shenanigans involved with this photo - and it was posted to further agitate the crowds.

Looks abit like a LAV III ummm LAV 25... turret is about right and the hull high is pretty high... they have the driver and the crew commander "unbuttoned" for maximum visibility so that'd be right also for urban travel.... I check the video and see...
>EDIT>
Yep LAV IIIs (LAV 25 - refering to caliber of cannon) engine sound is exactly the way I remember
However I don't know if there is anything sinster behind the "tanks" arrival at the protest... could have been a road move through LA - there are lots on Marines around there.... besides it'd give recruits good experience drving in an urban enviroment.
