OK maybe you are not understanding the concept of riot control and techniques to de-escalate a situation.
She might have done that- there are techniques to stop ringleaders in a riot situation.
That is one of the steps- AFTER to make sure you do not escalate the situation yourself, you try to identify the ringleaders who ARE escalating things, and you remove them
Crowd mentality is a very complex thing. If you remove the ringleaders, the riot usually dies.
Now just a minute...you’ve been to how many large/unruly party calls? And they always go just fine, with everyone dispersing when politely asked to leave? You’ve never had to raise your voice? You’ve never had to overcome resistance to take someone into custody? Seriously, you’re some kind of super-cop FRiend.
Oh, I think it's safe to assume that I do.
She might have done that-
Done what? You mean the DJ? If so, there is no MIGHT about it. It is on video.
there are techniques to stop ringleaders in a riot situation.
You mean like ask them multiple times to leave the area, then if they don't, arrest them ?

Which is exactly what the officer was doing.

The officer did. He subdued her and placed her under arrest. The 'riot' quickly subsided.
Crowd mentality is a very complex thing.
Actually it's not. It's a very simple and mindless thing. So simple that (as you said) removing the ringleader usually brings things to a halt.
BTW, in the search for the truth, I have found that some of my ‘info’ was incorrect. (karma got me)
The female that got into the fight was the PROMOTER of the ‘party’ and the DJ was actually a guy.
Also I understand that the officer in question has resigned from the police force.
