In the segment you're referring to, most of the people in the crowd (or at least the ones in front, who he's most concernedabouwith) are unarmed, and as they follow him upstairs you can even see a couple of them doing classic "hands up, don't shoot" gestures to prove it. The rioter who sticks most closely to the cop isn't armed, either, and the cop gets away with lightly shoving him back.
This segment's immediately followed by rioters being stopped by cops and calmly conversing with them. Neither side moves to engage the other.
So the rioters' approach to violent tactics varied widely. Quite a few of them just wandered around on an illegal tour and were too indifferent, nervous or sympathetic to the cops to take it any further.
