What I saw was the guy looking down at the floor or his cell phone and then getting sucker punched. Then when he staggered to the door he was hit from behind and dragged back in and beaten. The cell phone guy never lifted a finger to the other guy, how can you and especially a police officer call this a fight, it was a beating plain and simple.

You have no legal standing in trying to break up the fight. You could get beat up just as easily. Maybe holler "Hey man, here come the cops!" . It really comes down to if you want to or not. It's not like the guy is your brother. He wasn't going to die, he was just getting his butt kicked.

I can't believe a police officer would not step in to prevent someone from getting severely beaten like this guy was. I have seen plenty of fights before and this was definately not a fight. Do you or your wife really think the cell phone guy was engaged in a fight?
