This was disgusting. Why did nobody help them.

They should have asked on camera if they were an officer, of they were on duty, and why the person was being detained.

Wouldnt have stopped the arrest likely but at least would have more evidence for the lawsuit.

We have to band together and protect each other from the Brown shirts

Probably because they didn't want to get shot. The best way to deal with this kind of thing isn't always via confrontation of an armed crazy person.
