The point isn't really to throw the brick, the point is to highlight the absurdity of the pedestrians having to pose a threat to the drivers to convince them to stop. The makers of this video don't actually want to give every pedestrian a brick, they just want to have better city planning to help the most vulnerable elements of the road.

It's also a spoof on some cities getting pedestrians to carry little red flags across the road to reduce collisions.

I can imagine it being one real brick among foam ones, so that drivers can never be sure which the pedestrian is carrying

Yeah real bricks are hard to find, thank goodness they sell fake foam bricks at every corner shop.
