Observation: the police line looks like it was made up of over half females.
Look at their little "fighting stance", one palm outward and the other hand on their spray/useless batons (batons are retarded and don't work).
Another observation: This crowd was kind of aimlessly milling around, yapping at the cops, doing nothing... until some guy with balls of steel got on a loudspeaker and, like a battle of old, shouted "ON ME! ON MY COUNT!" And what happened when he finished counting? The group attacked. Groups this large tend to behave as a singular organism. All you need is one powerful voice that can cut through all the babbling to direct them.
Once a crowd reaches a certain size, group psychology takes over. Allegedly, the average intelligence of a grown adult in a massive crowd actually drops to that of a 7 year old child; this is one theory for why it is so easy to manipulate large crowds, because it's essentially children that you are manipulating.
So tip is to buy a loudspeaker
Ah yes, now that scene makes sense in the movie where Willy (let me go four different directions simultaneously) Wallace had the large crowd, turn around, lift their kilts and all slap their ass cheeks .....
