Very scary situation that luckily didn't escalate out of control.
Two things that stand out to me. one was this quote from the article

Wow, obviously there is a big problem with rowdy fans at these games. I'm not sure if more officers is the solution, but something has to be done.
Second, the rider fan grabs something on the officers belt and then releases it when the officer turns around, resulting in a snap. Watch from .06-.08. The rider fan gets his finger around something and pulls, and when the cop turns around the fan retracts his finger which coincides with an audible snap.
I have no idea what the officer has on his belt that would stretch like that, but obviously it was more than a simple tug.
