This shit always happens in melees. The police become football players in the pile scrambling for a fumble. Bite, scratch, kick-in-the-nuts... it's all suddenly fair game. I guess it's to be expected, to some extent. I don't think I'd be supple or constrained in my efforts if told to get control of a mass of people fighting removal from a space. One might resort to the cheap, lazy tactics like hair-pulling. And recall, these are local cops. You'll look long and hard to find lazier, less creative public employees.
