Not to be a downer, but it looks legit enough to me. I've never been in a riot, but I've been in fights and other verbal confrontations and this looks a lot like the initial posturing on the left to get amped up to actually fight. Police are trying to hold the line peacefully.
I feel like I've seen enough of these videos, the recent pizza man mugging one comes to mind, to know, ultimately, very few people want to be the actual FIRST person to start REAL violence. Most people know, through fight or flight instinct, that flights the better move. Most have to get amped to fight, then it dominos.
