    It looks like a lot of this comes down to who was where and when. Officer 2 seems like the “bad cop” that Officer 1 should’ve chastised, and then Crutchfield arrived after the fact and was upset with Officer 2, likely per 1’s testimony – if I’m understanding correctly.

    If it was just Officer 1 and Officer 2 that were responding at first, I think this touches on a different issue actually. Officer 1 can’t properly restrain Officer 2 if 1 also has to handle an unruly suspect. If both of them have their hands full, one officer can’t keep the other in check. Perhaps this highlights that in an ideal situation, you have at least 1 extra officer than is necessary for the scenario. The extra officer would then be free to intervene and stop bad cops.
