You pop enough car tires and break enough windows of people doing nothing, this will be the response
Cops pushing again, but extra sloppy/disorganized. One car was following behind and another pulled in front of them blocking them, cop slams on window and they back out. Cop pushes media on the ground for being in street and says "get the fuck out of here"
Munitions thrown at group of press, then rubber bullets, more smoke and stand there and do nothing
Cops came out again, going after a specific person this time. This tactic shows that they can go after specific people rather than charging a crowd and indiscrimetly arresting people
