City fire trucks wailing their way up Christopher Street prevented what could have been a bloodbath by police had the crowd actually forced their way back inside the Stonewall.
But the crowd did not break in.
Craig Rodwell, from his position on a stoop next door, watched as the scene unfolded.
Soon after the fire trucks arrived, more police vans pulled up.
These were tactical police units wearing riot gear and helmets.
They came up Christopher Street towards 7th Avenue in a V formation and managed to disperse the crowd from the front door.
Rodwell got off his stoop and joined the melee.
It was like a tug-of-war that went on for a few hours.
They would just chase us down the street, and we'd go around the block and come back and chant things and throw bottles.
Some of the crowd taunted the tactical police by linking arms like raquettes dancers to mimic the cops' advances in formation, singing, We are the village girls.
We wear our hair in curls.
We wear our sweaters tight.
We give the guys a fright.
Danny Garvin, who was part of the crowd that night, recalls the police reaction to this theatrical protest.
Cops just charged with the nightsticks and started smacking them in the heads, hitting people, pulling them into cars.
I just can't ever get that one sight out of my mind.
That kick line, which was a spoof on the cops' machismo, making fun of their authority.
People were getting smashed with bats, and for what?
A kick line?
Fire trucks turned their hoses on the protesters, but the kick lines would form again and again.
