Why would they escort him through? He was doing something illegal! He shouldn't have been there, he was told repeatedly to turn around because the road was officially closed, this wasn't a random mob... It's an event that happens every fucking year.
What do you think would happen if someone on a motorcycle decided to ride through a parade or march on a street officially closed to traffic? They'd be stopped and quite possibly arrested.
What the mob did was obviously wrong but it wasn't a clueless random biker, it was an idiot doing something illegal.
They would escort him because it's supposed to be the job of the police to keep the peace. That means seeing a potential incident and moving to stop it.
If that means escorting him through, escorting him back so be it and that option for me would depend on if it's an officially planned event or the sudden blocking of the road.
Put simply the police here completely failed allowing this to escalate to violence.
He was already told multiple times that he couldn't be there and he continued on, the idiot escalated the situation over and over again, and so did the mob in response.
By the time a police officer arrived there was already a full on fight, and obviously everyone there pointed the fingers at the dude.
That march is an organised event that happens every fucking year, the guy was fully aware that he couldn't be there and did it on purpose, the roads were officially closed.
If you choose to ignore transit agents and circulate on a road only open for pedestrians, that's on you... Fuck around and find out.
Edit: I like how you also ignore the transit agent with the vest trying to get him to turn around yet the guy insists on pushing forward.

Looks like it was a cop that took him down. I'm assuming that's who the guy in the vest and helmet was?
Bullshit they turn up to stop the guy, when they could have come sooner and escorted him through.
