? Why do say likely would have go e differently? It seemed pretty quick to me. So by the time back up would've arrived would've been over. Unless your referring to a two man cruiser as opposed to a one man unit?

My two cents worth, Officer Hubbard was off duty that is clear. What is not clear is who was the initial aggressor between Cop and firefighter? If the off duty Cop was the initial aggressor then he lost his right to self defense.
From the article
"Hubbard, who was working security for the Marriott while wearing his Police Department uniform, saw the group arguing and saw Anthony Bruno leaving the area. He headed east after him."

If an argument is all Hubbard saw and Bruno was leaving the area I have to question why Hubbard reacted as harshly as he did. What Probable cause did he have for accosting Bruno? At this point I have to ask if the stop was lawful, if the stop was not lawful was Bruno simply defending himself, admittedly not he best idea with a uniformed officer.
"Bruno told Hubbard he shouldn’t have hit him, Hubbard said."

I have to agree if all Hubbard saw was an argument he would not be justified in detaining
Bruno much less assaulting him.
I am sick to death of giving Cops the benefit of the doubt.
