That’s not to say I wouldn’t assist in other ways, like calling the cops and making it known that police were coming immediately. But once a brawl breaks out it’s real tough to de-escalate without a superior show of force. I’m not banking on other strangers having my back, as evidenced by this situation.

I'm with you, I have no issues saying I'm a coward too. Definitely, I wouldn't be the guy filming it (always hate when people stoop to that level), but at the same time, I would not have inserted myself to try to stop it. Plus, in the heat of the moment, you have no idea who's in the right and who's in the wrong, and who has a weapon, and who doesn't. I'd call the cops, but I would not be stepping in to potentially get hurt or worse.
