It sure looked to me like they knelt and bowed. The commander did bow.

bvw, I saw the entire video and yes, when the Commander withdrew his troops, he bowed to the people with his hands extended as if "in prayer".

Looking at the whole situation, the mob was so angry, if he hadn't calmed them down, they most likely would have caused our troops to fire on them in self-defense.

Don't be so darn hard on yourself, bvw. It was an unusual and difficult situation, and could have ended differently.
