I’m hoping for the best - that they were helping out the cop - but I am not convinced that was the case.

Yes they were pretty eager to help out the cop, but I don't think it is because they were good citizens. Might have been a homie invading on their turf and this is a good time to kick his ass.

This honestly doesn’t surprise me all that much. Despite what the BLM and Antifa types would have you believe, most black people want police trying to keep their neighborhoods safe. When I was covering a large protest as a bomb technician I had to go into the crowd a couple times to X-ray suspicious packages. The only people that got close to me were white hipster types. Every time I went out there were several black folks that told people to get back and give me space to work because I was trying to keep them safe. I’m fully of the belief that our current unrest is not a black vs. white thing like many media folks would have you believe. This is totally a socialist and anarchist push to take advantage of the situation.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Well you don't see that very often. I'm also of the thought that the guy was either a rival gang member or neighborhood dick. The others were a little to eager to get in a few more blows while they had the opportunity.

That warms your heart.

That big guy in the white tee shirt sure wrapped him up effectively.

This is why the whole "race war" is total BS. The guy in the white shirt in particular seems like a guy I'd take in my fox hole any day.

Heartwarming display of a righteous neighborhood intervention, to be sure.

But I suspect the video may be somewhat older (at least 6+ months), considering nobody is wearing a mask, even the cop.

I hope they recognize white shirt guy for his help!

Once he got in position the dirt bag was getting his ass kicked.

Way to go white shirt guy!

I just watched it a second time. Sore for a month might be optimistic. Maybe 3 months? He definitely got an ass kicking.

Might the Maryland/DC area, looks like that one guy is wearing a Terps jacket at about 34 second mark.

Does anyone own a belt or buy properly fitting pants, shorts or sweats?

Good on the neighborhood for helping out but...

That officer, is right up there with the female officer who backed-out of the convenance store shooting in NYC or, the Berkeley officer who allowed the perp to get back into his vehicle.

This is shit guys get dropped from the academy for, zero hand-to-hand skills, no weight training. He needs to moved to the PR branch and work the rest of his retirement handing out brochures and stickers.

^^^ corsair is spot on. That was a little embarrassing.

And that very well may be the case here, especially the guy in the white t-shirt, he seemed motivated to keep this guy down for LE. The crowd may be tired of seeing other neighborhoods burn down by Antifa/BLM because of some stupid ass thug getting shot from police. The crowd was doing what the cops can't.

I love it when things seem to calm down, then guys jump back in for some 2nds and 3rds

Qualified if not fixed.

Still, hard to respect the all too common piling on and kicking a downed man. I'd bet many of those involved were just taking advantage of an opportunity to kick any ass.
