@gamfaya said:
"How so. How can a trained police officer be disarmed by a drunk person. That's why it is important for police officers to take martial arts classes and practice shooting at the shooting range, on their own, not to wait for the government to provide such training. "
@063GAU said:
"If she shot him, she’d be facing an inquiry, murder charges, possibility of jail, and losing everything she’s worked for. These police officers did well and it’s a good demonstration of the despondent police system at the mercy of everyone."
@LedwabaRonald said:,
"Just listen to how people are hauling insults at the police, had these police officers reacted and used maximum force these very same people would be singing a different tune. Damned if you do damned if you don't. Policing is difficult I still maintain. It's sad!"

In the clip, the men can be heard shouting that the officers are taking their livelihood. At one point in the clip, one of the angry local residents and an officer stand face-to-face while the officer commands that the man stop swearing at him.
""The community is fighting back," @danielmarven captured the clip.
