My first thought was to start thread in Bizarre News, but as it called for more than bandaids, decided it does not belong there.
How do these brawls begin? Sarc alert: Can't spare a square? (thx 'Seinfeld')
The family that brawls together stays together? Another meth lab in big box store restroom?
Seriously. Sad, sad, sad that anyone at all was hurt or injured.
But after someone tries to take an LEO's gun away, peace, joy, and harmony do not follow.JM2cts.
That LEO and others are then justified in using force in defense. < that is law, not jmo.
