She turns to the right, and at that point the cops and the girl have their backs to each other. They are all reacting to the liquid.
But it doesn't reach them does it??? And what happened to the string theory???
All 5 cops turn at once and look right at her -- no one else??? Whatever they were reacting to came from her. They didn't hesitate or look around for anyone else. She said something that was the last straw.
And she like the guilty party turns to run.
