Yes - now I'm trying to remember whether the soldiers started out with their rifles in a ready position. But in either case, when you think about it, it was interesting how close the crowd got... close enough that a round through one of them might kill the guy behind him too. Those people didn't fear getting shot.
At the same time, when they got the order to stand down and smile and wave and just walk away, the crowd immediately knew the deal and they stood down too. They didn't rush 'em or anything like that. The whole situation was defused.
