The way I see it is, once they ignored orders and went hands on knocking officers off their feet, it's a deadly force situation. One officer goes down and out and there's a loaded gun and other weapons available.


I think a couple of the Officers did draw and reholster their sidearms simply because they could not get in a clear safe shot..

I have only ever had to break up 3 or 4 brawls and with a four person team the SOP was for two to go forward and grab somebody and drag them out backward, while the other two covered the extraction to prevent any interference..

Thing never quite went as smoothly as that, but it worked fairly well and avoided the situation where the team ends up in four separate scuffles and is essentially out numbered..
