But I think Nick’s next case was the lake monster where three guys were trying to make a quick buck from an increase in tourist activity. Except for Monroe infiltrating a community gathering in Star Crossed, you’d hardly know local Wesen were even aware of an uprising.
When Monroe infiltrated the secret wesen uprising meeting, the wesen there presented their main grievance as being the Kehrseite. Grimms are lumped in as well, of course, because they were grimms. The show also portrayed that there were not that many grimms, so grimms (including Nick and the gang) were definitely not the ones holding wesen back, Kehrseite were. Switching the roles of hunter and hunted without the inclusion of BC specifically would still mean that Kehrseite would become the hunted. Preserving Kehrseite norms was what they were rebelling against and not just grimms. BC was presented was the (evil) leaders who were taking advantage of this uprising. However, 'regular' community wesen being recruited also resented having to observe kehrseite norms and laws.

With this scenario, innocent wesen would have been killed just to make life miserable for Nick ( and the gang) since his cases typically involved the death of wesen in the hands of other wesen. It would also make the wesen uprising even less genuine as a grassroots movement as well.
I do like the scenario of wesen and humans compromising and living together -
but that would have been a bigger feat to accomplish for G& K since they would now have to go even bigger and even more global with their story. Aside from the handful of humans that know about wesen in different towns (if we take Portland as a representative sample), you'd have to spring them the majority of unsuspecting humans too.
