I agree. I have to call "bullshit" on this one :)

I was thinking the same thing. Those hits didn't look like they would be enough to drop a guy like that.

i'm glad everyone appears to be ok. I am not familiar with this show. To be honest, this looks a little fake. In any case, yeah, dealing with multiple subjects who are clearly armed with improvised weapons, is always going to be risky. Sometimes, we need to recognize when it's just better to LEAVE and try again later.... if that's not practical, then stock the odds in your favor before going in and making contact. In the end, they just don't pay you enough to deal with multiple, angry, armed subjects, when you yourself are not armed, and when they increase their level of resistance from non-cooperative to combative in a blink of an eye. Good luck with that.
