The interaction itself - be a good witness until the moment you reasonably believe there is the appearance of SBI and/or live threatening violence. "Violent felony" concept of interdiction is usually a good basis to use. People have fights all the time and that doesnt mean they will die from it, and it doesnt mean you should interject yourself into a situation that automatically means you need to go hands on.



Furthermore, the first thing that should have happened is a cellphone being taken out and the whole thing being video recorded. Witness or not (sometimes the complaining witness/victim run away) you have evidence why you made contact if you have to.



When you do make contact and decide to take action, go big.
