While some of us would try to stop the fight, definitely by sounding our whistles, possibly by trying to get between the main participants, I'm not sure that officials are under any legal obligation to physically intervene.

There appear to be a few legal experts participating in this thread that may be able to inform us of any legal obligation that officials might have to physically intervene in matters such as this.

Perhaps those Forum members with some legal background knowledge can enlighten us?

Just remember. Anybody can sue anybody for anything at any time, and even if the plaintiff doesn't prevail, defendants should be represented by an attorney, and billable hours aren't inexpensive.
