Here's how I see it though. I don't care about his assessment of the situation that he felt he was in. He shouldn't have put himself in that situation. I have a general rule that I live by in similar situations. I only try to break up or stop fights from happening if they involve two people that I know. I'm talking about knowing both if them. You know why? Because there's a very good chance that you are going to be drawn into the fight, or become a victim of it. That's exactly what we see happen in that video... It's not his damn job or place to get involved in that.

Of course he shouldn't have hit the child; but as I said in the beginning we don't know his level of fight or flight fear. I said this before reports came out that dude suffers from PTSD  and has brain damage.

Reports are the youths were harassing a woman (different than fight) and he went to the woman's aid. Once this happened he was surrounded and assaulted stepped toward. 

I cannot begrudge anyone that comes to the aid of a lone woman being harassed by a group of unsupervised youths. I'm sure all parties regret the outcome, but that does not change my question that no one is answering: Who put the child in harm's way? Answer that and I'll tell you who should be held accountable.
