Exploiting the breakthrough (assuming the exit strategy allows doing so) would have been entirely possible.
My guess is they wanted to make a powerful statement without first breaking through that line, then having it re-form behind them blocking the way out.
Breaking INTO an area surrounded by cops would be an "own goal" as it would amount to a self-kettle.
