On second viewing, I'm inclined to agree. He also didn't start swinging as early as I thought he had.

I think his attempts at fisticuffs were awkward and embarrassing, but the same might be said of all participants in this fracas.

I commend him, but had the officers been working as a team he would have been in the way. Since he had not trained with the officers he would not know what the strategy would be. That was a bar room brawl in a parking lot.

Well... none of them were killed, and it looks like most of their injuries were walked off. All of the suspects were taken into custody. I would call it a win. Ugly, embarrassing, profoundly awkward, but still could have gone massively worse.
