Some thoughts:
1. The officer needs some serious training in the principles of grappling. Even after you end up flat on your back in a grappling situation, it's possible to control your opponent when he's in the higher position. Along with being out of shape, this officer was lacking in crucial skills.
2. Cynical commenters over at Instapundit (where I saw this tweet) are saying that the other locals beat up the aggressor not to help the cop but rather to keep their community from being burned down by Antifa rioters should the cop contrive to shoot the aggressor. That could be the case. Such thinking is entirely plausible given current events.
3. Street justice, with or without the use of guns, is becoming more of a thing these days. As long as the police keep pulling back (often at the behest of local politicians who kowtow to the "woke" crowd), we'll increasingly see scenes like this. And they'll only get bloodier.
