It's a rebellion dude. They want to resignation of the Kygyrzstan president. So they take to the street.

The cops are getting their asses beat because they broke formation. The worse thing to do, when retreating, is to break formation. It is a given that people should not break and run, they should withdraw. Something like this;



You see how the actors portraying Navy Seals never turn their backs, and never break formation; only until it is relatively safe. Never turn and run, when the enemy is bearing down.

For a Melee see any movie depicting armored formations, break the shield wall and it is a massacre.

Moving this video to NordlichReiter's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Indeed Nord, in fact, a broken formation running almost encourages a pursuit, even if one wasn't desired in the first place. What could of been an unruly mob can turn into a riot in such a case.
