I have heard a couple conversations about this. If a citizen had pushed that cop off, they would still be in jail. Messed up!

The Mpls police chief said, we can call for the supervisor to come on scene. Well, okay, but how long would that take?!

In an honest discussion, what can bystanders do to stop this while it is happening? Filming it for sure is the number one weapon, but can we as citizens stop it while it is happening?
