I see, that makes sense. Wouldn't there be a risk with allowing small tussles like this to happen uninterrupted too? If one side starts using violence and mob threats how long until the other side does too? I'm not terribly familiar with how the police respond to situations like this, but I'd love more insight.
Generally, once things come to blows you have two options-1. Get on it right away and break it up with a show of force and arrest those involved. 2. Let them swing at each other and get tired and realize they really don’t want to fight.
I always preferred 1 but when you are greatly outnumbered or things can get real bad real quick, sometimes 2. Is the way to go. I have let people fight just a bit before breaking them up because then they are tired and if they try to fight us, they are already at a great disadvantage
