Romany folk?

Down and out crime family?

Since the police were surprised by their tactics, such as rolling to break the taser wires, face grabbing, extraordinary resistance to pain... Where did they get their training?

The police were not able to stop them or even slow them down with hard punches, kicks, asps application, tasers, and even breaking the arm of one of them. The guy with the broken arm kept up a high level of fighting. Broken arm, no problem...

Who are these people?

I'm interested in their background.

Your average petty criminal isn't this tough. Yeah, some are, but most comply with a dose of "act right" pepper spray or being tazed or repeatedly hit with an asp or soundly punched/kicked and the rest of what the police did to get them under arrest.

Perhaps, ex-spetsnaz? Yeah, I kid, but not by much... Do they have super powers or does it just seem that way?

And the mother, standing with her 11 year old daughter in the middle of the fray, presumably to help interfere with the police. What on earth? That passive action too indicates a level of training.

Is it too far out there to suggest they're testing terrorist waters in fighting the police? Yeah, I know, that sounds kinda nutty, but these are not your standard issue petty criminals.

They're trained, willing to fight and accept a supremely high level of pain and keep fighting.

Who are these people?

Re: Open Season On Our LEO's

Assisting? As I watched this, I thought about that. It would be a hard one to help out with. Almost from the outset, there were several police officers. I don't know how much I could have done that would help, that would not endanger me from a tragic misunderstanding.

The first time I saw the video, I had not read the story. I kept wondering why the two "civilians" involved were fighting each other. I'm sure a backup cop arriving on the scene would have the same problem. Even after reading the story, it took a long time into the video to figure out which of the two was the security guard and which was the family member (the shorter guy finally goes over and starts pounding a cop, so that made it pretty obvious).

Pulling a gun in the middle of the confusion could very easily get you shot by the police.

I think the extent of my help would have been what the two guys did near the end, help the injured cop to get out of the middle of it.

I wouldn't have made a very good cop in this situation either. I think there'd have been a lot more dead or injured family members.
