It non lethal. A solid line can be created to push a crowd. And we all know when the mob mentality is present, people throw things at authority that is trying to calm things, so it protects them as well.

Police officers use riot shields as a form of personal protection during riot control situations. These shields are designed to provide a physical barrier between officers and potentially aggressive or violent individuals in order to minimize the risk of injury. They help to deflect projectiles, such as rocks or bottles, and provide a larger surface area to disperse the impact force.

Are hooligans casual?

From their point of view no, they are not. There are many types of fans of sports clubs and so called "hooligans" and casuals are two different ones. Casuals are usually not involved in riots on stadiums etc. and rather use the approach to blend in with "civilians" so they can get undetected by the police from one point to another and possibly engage in a fight with rival fans without alarming the police. On the other hand "hooligans" are other fans who openly participate in fights/riots without taking much thought on the police.
