In my experience with riots and protests, the way police approach a large threatening group is as follows.
It's very rough but their general strat is to disperse the group as if herding them apart from eachother, using the intersections and urban layout to achieve these ends.

People start to lose confidence when they have a smaller group, and disperse on their own accord. confidence is in abundance when there is numerical supremacy.
To use one of my Minneapolis maps, pay mind to how the police , in two phalanxes, drove the protest and then riot around the 5th precinct up to east lake and then split the group in half, driving it in separate directions from eachother on the street
