One thing you can be sure of: The LEO's were aware of everything you did during the entire time you were walking among them.

Only wrinkle was they couldn't rescue you because it would blow their cover!

Next time maybe have someone following at a distance, surreptiously shooting your every move with their video camera. As soon as those goons move in, call the cops and have every one of them who touched you or threatened arrested.

....And you have the tape to prove your allegations of bodily harm! (Maybe even tape recorder in pocket :)

they [i.e., undercover police within the leftist crowd] couldn't rescue you because it would blow their cover!

You are probably correct that the police had undercover officers on scene (and they have had such officers in the past). However, the husband and wife loony leftist lawyers have sued some area police forces and are trying to block them from using undercover officers.

A video camera is the next thing on my wish list. I forgot that my digital camera has the capability to record Quicktime video clips. I won't forget that again.
