If the 700 Marines are from their Military Police units MOS 5811, they are trained in crowd control. If they are from their Infantry MOS 0300, might end very poorly for someone wanting to get in a Marine's face and start yelling while waiving a phone in their face.

This could go sideways VERY quickly.
