It's not just the shield tactics that are mimicking the past.

The only difference was that instead of the cheek pieces, it had the clear face guard.

When you think about it, shields became outdated with the introduction of firearms. But riots mostly consist of regular melee weapons and certain projectile, mirroring medieval warfare, which made the usage of Riot Shield make sense.

The Roman scutum with its height and curved sides is GREAT when fighting in formation. However, because of its weight, it’s hard to use in one-on-one melees or retreats. Soldiers knowing know that you’re much better defended when remaining in formation rather than breaking and fleeing.

Knock them down and hit them a few times, and you've likely subdued them. Sun Tzu talked about winning not just the battle. But all battles that would come after.

These guys are just civilians after all, they generally have no training or real combat experience. To better utilize them, they have to stop trying to fight a losing battle and make use of superior numbers and mobility to swarm and enclose the officers.

Just to give some detail, full metal shields were not used in combat unless maybe it was super thin and small, those were more decorative pieces usually made of more expensive metal for kings or nobles to show off in their homes to show how rich they were, like a gold plated ak-47 in modern day. An actual useful combat shield would have been made of wood with sometimes leather rims with the intended purpose of getting the enemy's melee weapon stuck in it to force disarm the opponent. some shields that were metal plated like the jousting knight's shield are special and purpose made for the sport not necessarily in live battles, metal rimmed shields are largely myth, not much evidence of them being used in battlefields those found were more modern recreations or depictions, basically museum props.
