Police officers are supposed to be trained in crowd control. As such, the first rule of crowd control is to never act in such a way that the crowd perceives that action to be a threat as this action may cause the crowd to become riot. Clearly, this officers actions crossed that line. I believe that the action of moving the barrier a few feet was designed to create enough tension to justify the use of pepper spray or worse.
