My assumption is that loudness won't matter much as there will be a police line directly behind the fence. But the sparks would get a big cop reaction much quicker than the cutters. You'll need to be in black bloc and there will need to be a large crowd directly at the fence in order for it to work out.
Two simple cuts should turn one of those gates into a free swinging door by the looks of it. This would still be defensible but you'd have plenty of opportunity to cut another hole or two while things escalate.
no doubt, i just think the angle grinder is the kind of tool most diy people would either already have or could make use of whereas a bolt cutter is basically just single purpose
also whether they see the sparks or not, other than gas/mist they're not going to be able to do anything about it from the other side of the barriers - beanbag rounds are useless and tazers aren't going through that mesh

Yes it's the most useless riot fence ever constructed. It does provide a few options though:
If you're prepped for 1 and 2 you're fine.
The 4th option is the directional heat gun, I haven't got a counter to that thing yet but deploying it safely isn't exactly easy for them either.
wouldn't even tin foil block microwave guns?
