Can I ask a question about law enforcement? ( Details Inside )

Asked by rojo (24179points) September 1st, 2017

Today I saw a video of a cop arresting a nurse for doing her job. (video). He is obviously stressed and frustrated.

There are two other law enforcement officers that appear in the video.

Could, or perhaps would, one or two officers step in to defuse a situation that is obviously getting out of hand? Is there some kind of rule, written or unwritten, that says they shouldn’t?

Would there be repercussions from other officers who later viewed the situation and if so, would they be against the original officer or the one who stepped in?
