The BBC news story I read about this mentioned that the police were out, but were engaged in generalised law and order duties rather than confronting the protestors. However, it did mention that the resulting order was not conducive to the development of an "overthrow the goverment" atomsphere. It also mentioned faultlines in the protestors, between the Muslim Brotherhood and the rest.
However it also mentioned that there was "Overthrow Mubarak" grafitti on some police vehicles. I have no idea what that would imply though. Could be anything from protective camoflague through insufficent cleaning staff to joining the protest.
