Did you listen to the audio? As the other officers arrive (car dash cam view was from), that officer exits his vehicle and says they need to separate them for questioning, then you can hear the patriarch of the bunch saying they're not separating anyone and the fighting begins.
Tough to train for every situation. I'll bet the officer with the ASP was wishing he had 4 feet of hickory instead.
My volume was down at the beginning of the video, so no I didn't hear it, but I'd say it support my hypothesis that the officers were trying to conduct a low key investigation when the Bush Gypsies went off.
Yes, 4 foot hickory and shield would of been much preferred for that situation, but I don't think anyone had much time to make it back to their vehicles....
I was surprised the officers managed to bag all 7 belligerents, so someone came through with a plan.
