Practicing for a riot
This video shows South Korean military police practicing tactics and maneuvers to counter a violent demonstration. They've broken their force into discrete packages of police that can reenforce or relieve the front line, or move through the front line to push demonstrators back. I know that in the past South Korea has had some wild protests, it looks like they're well trained to try to contain such demonstrations.

Looks like nice choreography. Wonder how a machine gun team would affect their dance? or a couple of snipers?
Heh. I imagine not so good.
What it reminded me off was a pre-gunpowder army maneuvering. The best tactic of the rioters would be turning their flank since formations like that have a lot of trouble wheeling to face in a different direction.
But, being on city streets, the cops would have their flanks covered so that would be much easier said than done.
