Not quite. The dash cam video shows an officer already on scene as two cars show up. One driver isn't even stopped before he opens his door to jump out. The other driver is seen swinging a club as he walks up to the scene.
As far as injuries go, one cop shot another, one cop kicked another cop in the face and one cop pepper sprayed himself.
Were it not for 'roids and military arsenals, these Keystone cops might think through the situation before "going to battle".
Of course, when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
They'll make the citizens pay for that!
***one cop pepper sprayed himself....***
So maybe it is like Mayberry after all! Especially if the cops are like Barney.
So brawls didn’t happen in the 1960s, 1950s, 1910s, 1890s?
I get it. Cops have a tough job. So do lumberjacks and astronauts. All are professions voluntarily chosen. So having a “tough job” is an excuse for, well, nothing.

“Bad guys don’t play nice. “
That’s why the general public should be allowed to have the same kinds of weapons that the police do.
This incident was total chaos which the cops lost total control of.
As far as injuries go, one cop shot another,
Comments in the YouTube thread say that one of the "band" got the cop's gun and shot him in the leg. The video isn't clear enough. The only shot I can see fired is from a cop into the scrim.
