I think it was just to get them out of the street and they were letting people leave through the police line.
When you herd any group of animals into a coral and fire a weapon or blow up firecrackers you incite panic panic is a form of fear. Basic psychology
teaches us that when an animal is in fear it will protect itself violently. Push people to the point of panic and you are inciting violence this was a
terror tactic clear and true.
I have worked gate systems in main train stations at rush hour and humans behave in herd mentality when their numbers are large enough same as the
cattle we used to raise on our dairy farm.
Any cattle farmer knows you don't let off fireworks near a herd fenced in this causes panic and stampede behavior usually resulting in them rushing a
fence and getting injured trying to break through. The same is observed in this video.
This was using terror to incite panic and violence for control and the ability to use the law to hide behind and get their jollies off. I have know
security workers in the private industry who with a team of 3 men control a unruly crowd in a night club of over 100 watching them work was like
watching an artist. Treat people with respect they will for the most part give it back. Treat them like animals and they will most likely bite this is
something children even understand.
With directness firmness and not inciting panic this was not an attempt to keep the peace here clearly this was a exercise to create fear and terror
in the populace.
Repeating over and over that there was no inciting violence or that you observed an unidentified most likely undercover police officer through police
lines doesn't change what can clearly be observed by an intelligent conscious person who has ever been in a large crowd like this.
